the Templar Archives

The Templar Archives refer to a collection of historical documents and records related to the Knights Templar, a medieval order known for their role in the Crusades, banking, and military endeavors from the 12th to 14th centuries. Established in the wake of the First Crusade, the archives include correspondence, financial transactions, land deeds, and reports about their activities and properties across Europe and the Middle East. These documents are crucial for historians studying the Templars' influence, operations, and the eventual dissolution of the order in the early 14th century, revealing their significant role in medieval history.
