Knight Templar

The Knights Templar was a medieval Christian military order founded in the 12th century to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. They combined religious devotion with martial prowess, forming an elite group of knights. Over time, they became influential bankers and landowners across Europe and the Middle East. Their wealth, power, and secretive practices led to accusations of heresy and conspiracy, resulting in their disbandment in the early 14th century by King Philip IV of France. Today, they often feature in popular culture and historical speculation, symbolizing both religious unwavering resolve and mysterious secret societies.
