Tony Woods
It is nearly seven hundred years since pope Clement V dissolved the order of the Knights of the Temple of Solomon, ever since then, Knights Templar¡¯s story has been told to the people many times, not only because they were the warriors of the Jesus they became famous, but also because they were the earliest founder of the military orders and the type on which the others were modeled, they were the first bankers in the history, and the most important, their dramatic rise and tragic falls during their two hundred years of history. ... Shortly after the first Crusade, the Knights Templar joined together in 1118, they formed a military order with the mandate of protecting Christians Pilgrims on route to the Holy Land, they were organized and sanctioned in front of the former Temple of Solomon. ... The Holy Order of the Poor Knight of Christ and the Temple of Solomon is the full name of the order, but to most people, they were termed as Knights Templar. Knights Templar took a vow to the poverty and chastity as well as obedience, each Templar wore a typical white robe with red maltese cross insignia, and the Chainmail armor was worn in battle.
