Knights Templar

A millitary organization formed to help pilgrims get to the holy land. Disbanded by church when it was found to be helping jews. NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSASINS CREED

Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favoured charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades.5 Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom,6 innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking,78 and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.

The Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the Order faded. Rumours about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created distrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Order, took advantage of the situation. In 1307, many of the Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and then burned at the stake.9 Under pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312. The abrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to speculation and legends, which have kept the "Templar" name alive into the modern day.

A group of knights who supposedly found the Holy Grail under the Temple of Solomon DUring the Crusades. They became very rich in a very short ammount of time , though no one knows why exactly, the were destroyed just as Quickly as they popped up. It is said that the King got jealous of their riches and wanted them for himself, SO he ordered them all dead ( they were hung, burned at the stake, etc.)

this term is used to describe

1) a problem in a given scientific subject that is so hard and incomprehensible that even most people with a PhD in that field have trouble making head or tail of it.

2) a phrase meaning neither here nor there.

3) something that has rarely been seen in the scientific world, and it is therefore hard to distinguish what it is or is not.

A group of random kids trying to turn an unholy group into some Christian crusader shit.

Basically the actual word, for the mainstreem "crusader". The word is mostly being used by scandinavians in their native languages.

Those guys in history class. They think the Knights Templar were the most epic thing ever to exist. Believe the KT were an oppressed group, because French King Phillip IV killed a bunch of them 800 years ago. Will probably say something troubling about muslims under his breath during class. A variant of the more common ww2 boys. You know, the Knights Templar boys.
