Knights Templar
- a religious and military order for the protection of pilgrims to the Holy Land, founded as the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon in 1118圣殿骑士团(1118年建立时称为耶稣和所罗门神殿贫穷骑士团, 为一保护朝圣者的教会军事团体)。
The order became powerful and wealthy, but its members' arrogance towards rulers, together with their wealth and their rivalry with the Knights Hospitaller, led to their downfall; the order was suppressed in 1312, many of its possessions being given to the Knights Hospitaller.
