The Templar Order was established in 1118 to ensure the custody of the Holy places and to protect the pilgrimage ways.

The order reached the maximum splendour on the XIII century.

The Templar Knights considered themselves as knight of God, honour of church and the Christianity.

Their motto was NON NOBIS, DOMINE, NON NOBIS, SED TUO NOMINI DA GLORIAM “Give Glory, not for us, God, not for us, but for your name”.

It was a very well organized military force and they were the clash forces in all the Crusades.

They were in the vanguard during the attack and in the rearguard during the retreat.

During the century they ensured the effective government of the Latin kingdom of Constantinople. They did not pay taxes or tributes, they did only obey to the Pope and they had properties in all Europe and the Middle East.
