The Tragedy of the Templars

The Knights Templar, established on Christmas Day 1119 in Jerusalem, were a valiant religious order of knights committed to protecting the Holy Land and Christian pilgrims following the First Crusade. Renowned for their courage, they amassed significant wealth and power, becoming pivotal defenders against the escalating Muslim military efforts to reclaim control over Christian territories. Their legacy is marked by both their martial prowess and their role in the medieval socio-political landscape.
