The Knights Templar Order.
The Order of the Temple, or "Knights Templar," referred to by Pope Innocent III as "The Knighthood of God," was formed in 1118 by nine French knights who traveled to the Holy Land on a Holy Quest. The brave founding Knights formed the first religious / military Order of Knighthood, offering protection to Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. Later, the Order became the first soldier monks of the ancient Christian Church, Crusading in the Holy Land against the Saracens, helping to establish and maintain the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem for almost two hundred years.
The Knights Templar were the manifestation of a "new chivalry" which united the seemingly incompatible roles of monk and warrior. As the first religious military order, these dedicated men were models for successive orders including the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, later known as the Hospitallers, and the Teutonic Knights of the Hospital of St. Mary, two contemporary, rival brotherhoods. These and other orders, flourishing during the 12th-14th centuries as protectors of the Holy Land, were the first standing troops to be properly trained and commanded in Western Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire (Seward 17). The extraordinary story of the Knights Templar ranges from its humble establishment to a period of extreme prosperity, and, finally, to a tragic, haunting conclusion.
