They were recognized in 1139 by the papal bull Ofn date optimal. The order was active until 1312, when it was constantly suppressed by Pope Clement V bull Vox in Excelso. The Templars became a favorite charity throughout the Christian world and grew rapidly in membership and power. They were prominent in Christian finances. The Templar knights, in their distinctive white robes with a red cross, were some of the most experienced combat units The non-structured members of the Order, who made up 90% of their members, managed a large economic infrastructure throughout the Christian world, developing innovative financial methods that were an early form of banking, and perhaps forming their own network of nearly 1,000 teams and fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land, and possibly forming the world's first multinational corporation. The Templars were closely associated with the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, the support for order disappeared. Rumors of a secret initiation ceremony for the Templars created mistrust, and King Philip IV of France - deeply indebted to the Order - took advantage of this distrust to destroy them and erase his duty. In 1307, many members of the Order in France were arrested, tortured for false confessions and burned at the stake. Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312 under pressure from King Philip. The dramatic decline in power of a significant group in European society has spawned speculation, legends and legacies over the centuries. The Military Order of Christ considers itself the heirs of the former Templars because it was restored to Portugal after the Templars were abolished on March 22, 1312. The Order of Christ was founded in 1319 under the protection of the Portuguese King Denis, who refused to persecute and persecute former knights, as happened in most other sovereign states under the political influence of the Catholic Church. Denis the Portuguese revived the Templars of Tomar as the Order of Christ, mainly for their help during the Reconquista and in the reconstruction of Portugal after the wars. Denis negotiated with Clement's successor, John XXII, on the recognition of the new order and his right to inherit the assets and property of the Templars. This was provided by the papal bull, Ad ea ex quibus, March 14, 1319. The main story article: The history of the Templar Uprising after the Franks in the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from Muslim conquerors in 1099, many Christians made pilgrimages to various sacred sites in the Holy Land. Although the city of Jerusalem was relatively safe under the control of Christians, the rest of Outremer was not. Bandits and marauding roadmen preyed on these Christian pilgrims who regularly killed, sometimes in the hundreds, as they tried to make the journey from the coastline to Jaffa to the inner part of the Holy Land. The flag used by the Templars in battle. In 1119, the French knight Gug de Payens addressed King Baldwin II of Jerusalem and Patriarch Of Jerusalem Warmmund and proposed the creation of a monastic order to protect these pilgrims. King Baldwin and Patriarch Warmmund agreed to this request, probably at the Council of Nablus in January 1120, and the King provided the Templars with headquarters in the wing Royal Palace on the Temple Mount in the captured Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Temple Mount had mysticism because it was above what was considered the ruins of the Temple of Solomon. The Crusaders therefore called the Al-Aqsa Mosque the temple of Solomon, and from this place the new order adopted the name of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, or the Knights templars. The Order, which was joined by some nine knights, including Godfrey de Saint-Omer and Andre de Montbard, had little financial resources and relied on donations to survive. Their emblem was two knights riding one horse, emphasizing the poverty of the order. The first headquarters of the Templars, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Crusaders called it the Temple of Solomon, and from this place came their name templars. The poor status of the Templars did not last long. They had an influential lawyer in Saint Bernard Clervo, one of the leading church figures, the French abbot, primarily responsible for the founding of the Cistercian Order of Monks, and the nephew of Andre de Montbard, one of the founding knights. Bernard left his weight behind and wrote convincingly on their behalf in a letter For the Glory of a New Knighthood, and in 1129, in the Council of Troyes, he led a group of leading churchmen to formally approve and approve the order on behalf of the church. With this formal blessing the Templars became a favored charity throughout the Christian, receiving money, land, businesses, and noble sons from families who were willing to help in the struggle in the Holy Land. Another important advantage came in 1139, when the papal bull of Pope Innocent II, Omne Datum Optimum, freed the Order from obedience to local laws. This ruling meant that the Templars were free to cross all borders, were not required to pay any taxes, and were exempt from all powers except the pope. With its clear mission and ample resources, order grew rapidly. The Templars were often advanced strike troops in key Crusade battles, as heavily armored knights on their combat horses intended to attack the enemy, ahead of the main army bodies, in an attempt to break opposition lines. One of the most famous victories was in 1177 during the Battle of Mongisard, where about 500 Templars helped several thousand infantrymen defeat Saladin's army of more than 26,000 soldiers. The Knight of the Templars is indeed a fearless knight, and safe on all sides, for his soul is protected by the armor of faith, just as his body is protected by armor. Thus, he is doubly armed, and needs no fear of demons or people. Although the main mission of the order was militaristic, a relatively small number of members were combatants. The rest were positions to assist knights and manage financial infrastructure. The Order of the Templars, although its members were sworn in as an individual poverty, gained control of wealth beyond direct donations. A nobleman who was interested in participating in the Crusades could have given all his assets under the control of the Templars while he was gone. Accumulating wealth in this way throughout the Christian world and Outremer, order in 1150 began to generate letters of credit for pilgrims who had departed for the Holy Land: pilgrims surrendered their valuables from the local Templar commandment before the beginning, received a document indicating the value of their deposit, and then used this document upon arrival in the Holy Land to receive their funds in the amount of equal value. This innovative mechanism was an early form of banking and may have been the first official system to always support the use of cheques; this improved the safety of pilgrims, making them less attractive targets for thieves, and contributed to the Templar coffers. Based on this combination of donations and business relationships, the Templars established financial networks throughout the Christian world. They have acquired large tracts of land, both in Europe and the Middle East; they bought and operated farms and vineyards; they built massive stone cathedrals and castles; They are involved in production, import and export; they had their own fleet of ships; and at some point they even owned the entire island of Cyprus. The Order of the Templars may qualify as the world's first multinational corporation. The Battle of Hattin in 1187, a turning point that led to the Third Crusade in the mid-12th century, began to change in the Crusades.

  • A Brief History of the Medieval Knights Templar
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS TEMPLAR he medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the T famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before. Originally they were known as the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, or, more simply, as the Knights Templar. In a famous letter written in the 1130s, In Praise of the New Knighthood, St Bernard of Clairvaux elevated the Templar Order above all other Orders of the day, establishing the image of the Templars as a fierce spiritual militia for Christ. He regarded them as a "new species of knighthood, previously unknown in the secular world..." To him, they were a unique combination of knight and monk; to later historians, they were the first military order, soon imitated by the Knights Hospitaller, by several Spanish orders and, by the end of the 12th century, by the Teutonic Knights. As a holy militia fighting for Christ, the Templars were willing to put aside the usual temptations of ordinary secular life for an arduous, dedicated life of service. Ever since then, the legacy of the Templars has been –first and foremost - the concept of service. The Templars officially originated in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1118 A.D., when nine knights, mainly French, vowed to protect pilgrims on the dangerous roads leading to Jerusalem. These courageous knights gained the favor of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem who granted them part of his palace for their headquarters, which was located in the southeastern part of the Temple Mount, called "Solomon's Temple".

    The Military Orders in Wales and the Welsh March in the Middle Ages In the later medieval centuries the Hospitallers’ estates in Wales were among the most extensive of any religious corporation there. In 1535, just before the dissolution of the monasteries, the commandery at Slebech was the third richest monastic house in Wales, after the Cistercian abbeys at Tintern and Valle Crucis.

  • 1 Templars in the Chartrain (1120-1312)
    1 TEMPLARS IN THE CHARTRAIN (1120-1312) 1. INTRODUCTION So many stories and legends presented as historical truth1 have been told, and still are told, about the Templars and Chartres that it is important to try to assess within our period of interest—the twelfth and thirteenth centuries broadly defined—who they truly were and what influence, if any, they may have had in the region and, in particular, on the design and building of the cathedral as is often stated.2 The spiritual force that gave rise to the Templars has to be sought in the great evangelical awakening of the 11th century, which lasted throughout the 12th century, and that we see at work in the creation of the eremitical movement. In the words of Chenu:3 Looking over the movement as a whole and despite crossbreeding in it, one can discern two basic patterns of foundation on the level of action in the church. One was a special adaptation of the Christianized feudal institutes of knighthood: the Knights Templar and the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre served, both within Christendom and on its frontiers, as a militia of Christ, with the approval and active support of St. Bernard. 1 We have to guard here against the myths surrounding the Knights Templar, what Tyerman (2004, 3) calls “their popular elevation into a sinister, cultic, secret society, guardians of ancient mysteries, precursors of the Freemasons.” This, he says “reflects a false history… championed by…conspiracy theorists allied to cool money sharks bent on commercial exploitation of public credulity.” That is indeed wise and needed advice given the proliferation of books purporting to reveal the secrets and “codes” of enigmatic, shadowy organizations, not to mention films and entertainment exalting “chivalric feats.” However, the baby shouldn’t be thrown out with the bath water either.

  • History of the Order from King Charles the Martyr
    History of the Order from King Charles the Martyr The early years, 1095- In 1095 when Pope Urban II issued the call for the First Crusade, the Western Christian World saw this as a defensive action. Since the early 8th century Europe had been under ceaseless attack from Islamic forces, beginning with the Iberian Peninsula. Not only was most of Christian Spain conquered, but Islamic armies penetrated into the heart of France, only to be halted by Charles Martel in 732. Still, Islamic forces continued to threaten Europe, occupying Sicily, most of Southern Italy, and even besieging Rome in 846 and sacking St. Peter’s Basilica. Yet the First Crusade was not directed at Islam itself, but against the Seljuk Turks, who in their conquest of Palestine replaced the previous Arab tolerance of Christian pilgrims with intolerance and violence. By the end of July, 1099 the First Crusade had achieved its objective of restoring the Holy Places to Christian control. It was one thing to conquer; now the challenge was to rule. Immediately two problems confronted the newly created Kingdom of Jerusalem, being one of the worse examples of feudal fragmentation. The vassals of the King of Jerusalem were carving out their own feudal estates and becoming more powerful than their suzerain. They were even engaging in conflict among themselves, often hindering efforts to counter any renewed threat from Islam. The second problem was the lack of a reliable fighting force to defend the conquest. Once the Crusade was finished, most of the surviving crusaders, having fulfilled their vows, returned home.

    FOLLOWING THE FOOTPRINTS OF COLONIAL BARCELONA Gustau Nerín It is hardly unusual to find people, even highly educated people, who claim Catalonia can analyse colonialism with sufficient objectivity given that it has never taken part in any colonial campaign and never been colonialist. Even though most historians do not subscribe to this view, it is certainly a common belief among ordinary people. Dissociating ourselves from colonialism is obviously a way of whitewashing our history and collective conscience. But Barcelona, like it or not, is a city that owes a considerable amount of its growth to its colonial experience. First, it is obvious that the whole of Europe was infected with colonial attitudes at the height of the colonial period, towards the end of the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Colonial beliefs were shared among the English, French, Portuguese and Belgians, as well as the Swedes, Swiss, Italians, Germans and Catalans. Colonialist culture was constantly being consumed in Barcelona as in the rest of Europe. People were reading Jules Verne’s and Emilio Salgari's novels, collecting money for the “poor coloured folk” at missions in China and Africa and raising their own children with the racist poems of Kipling. The film industry, that great propagator of colonial myths, inflamed passions in our city with Tarzan, Beau Geste and The Four Feathers. Barcelona’s citizens certainly shared this belief in European superiority and in the white man’s burden, with Parisians, Londoners and so many other Europeans. In fact, even the comic strip El Capitán Trueno, which was created by a communist Catalan, Víctor Mora, proved to be a perfect reflection of these colonial stereotypes.

    SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS: THE IDEOLOGIES BEHIND THE FOUNDATION OF THE TEMPLARS A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, HUMANITIES, PHILOSOPHY, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI MAY 2012 Salutare Animas Nostras 1 Running Head: SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS Salutare Animas Nostras: The Ideologies Behind the Foundation of the Templars Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Salutare Animas Nostras 2 Abstract From beginning to end, the Knights Templar were a mysterious order. Little is known of their origins, and most of their records were destroyed during the suppression in the fourteenth century. In addition, they combined seemingly incompatible objectives: warriors and monks, as well as laity and clergy. This study bridges those divides, providing the historical developments from a secular and religious context. To understand the Templars’ foundation, it needs to be based on a premise that combines the ideologies of the priestly and knightly classes–salvation and the means to attain it. The conclusions were drawn following a multi-disciplinary approach. The primary source materials included the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, patristic authors, medieval literature, canon law, the Templars’ rules, in addition to monastic cartularies and chronicles. The secondary sources were a similar collection from various disciplines. The approach allowed for the examination of the Templars from multiple angles, which helped to highlight their diversified origins. The Knights Templar were the product of a long evolution beginning with the Pauline imagery of the Christian as a soldier battling his/her own spiritual demons and continuing through the call for a crusade to defend the Patrimony of Christ.
