The Order of the Poor Knights of Christ, Temple of Solomon and Order of the Temple
The Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, also called the Order of the Temple, whose members are known as the Knights Templar, was one of the most powerful Christian military orders of the Middle Ages.
It has been active for less than two centuries. It was founded in 1118 or 1119 by nine French knights led by Hugo de Payns after the First Crusade. Its original purpose was to protect the lives of Christians who made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem after its conquest. The order was recognized by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Garmond de Picquigny, who imposed the rule of the Augustinian canons of the Holy Sepulcher.
