These are self proclaimed fighting monks with one horse for two men. The Knight Templars was a communist group. They gave all they had to the order and was gave what they was needed.

“The Order of Knights Templars was founded in 1118 by Hugh de Payen and Geoffrey of St. Omer, together with seven other French knights then stationed in Palestine. These gentlemen were motivated by aion to guard the roads of Christian pilgrimage to the shrine of the Holy Land. During the first nine years of the Order, the Templars lived in extreme poverty. Hugh de Payen and Geoffrey of St. Omer had but one war horse between them. This circumstance was perpetuated on the great sealof the Templars, which consisted of two knights seated on one charger. The influence of the Order increased rapidly, for it appealed to the concepts of chivalry which dominated the minds of the time. In 1128 the Council of Troyes graciously acknowledged its motives and principles, and St. Bernard prepared a code for the spiritual and temporal guidance of the knights. Pope Honorius confirmed the Order of the Temple, and appointed a white mantle as the distinguishing habit. Later Eugenius III added a red cross to be worn affixed to the breast. They also had a banner made of stripes of red and black cloth. The members were bound by severe obligations. They took vows of poverty, ate only the coarsest of foods, and were denied the simplest of pleasures, even those of the hunt. When not warring against the enemies of Christ and the Church, they lived in monastic seclusion in the various houses of retreat which had been assigned to them. Here they divided their attentions between such religious activities as prayer and penace, and such practical concerns as “furbishing their armor and mending their clothes.” They were forbidden the common military recrea tion of gambling, and could not even play chess. Candidates for initiation gave all their property and personal goods to the Order. Thus, while each was individuality poor, the body as a whole became enormously rich. The principal officer of the Templars was the Grand Master, and, as the worldly estates of the body increased, he ranked as a prince at all the courts of Europe. Each new member took vows of chastity and obedience. “I swear,” said the novice, “to consecrate my thoughts, my energy, and my life, to the defense of the unity of God and the mysteries of the faith. . . . I promise to be submissive and obedient to the Grand Master of the Orden” Eliphas Levi and several other authors and historians advance the belief that Hugh de Payees had been initiated into a strange sect of Christian Johannites then flourishing in the East.” -Orders of the Quest, The Holy Grail (Adept Series) by Manly P. Hall pg 28-30

“He (Bertrand de Blanchefort) wrote the ‘Retraits’, which specified the hierarchical usages and actions of the Master. In other words, de Blanchefort differentiated the Templar ranks based on the status and mission of each dignitary and member. It also specified that the Master could no longer decide the collective future of  the Order without the agreement of the General Chapter.” – http://www.templiers.org/bertrandblanchefort-eng.php

Due to each member given all their worldly possessions to the Templar they became exceedingly wealthy and  know as the first international bankers.

Abolishment

“[Now] Philip, deciding that something should be done to hasten affairs, sent off for Venice and the conference. His arrival had an electric effect. On his sole authority the Pope almost immediately abolished the Order of a secret consistory. [And] this was on March 22nd, (322) [in the year] 1313.” – from A History of Secret Societies, written by Arkon Daraul

Bertrand de Blanchefort (or Blanquefort) was the sixth Grand Master of the Knights Templar, from 1156 until his death in 1169. He is known as a great reformer of the order.

Ida de Blanquefort was the mother of Bertrand de Got  which later became Pope Clement V. This leads many to think that Pope Clement V warned some of the Knights Templar helping a few escape with their treasure which was never found.

Pope Clement then issued the papal bull Pastoralis Praeeminentiae on November 22, 1307, which instructed all Christian monarchs in Europe to arrest all Templars and seize their assets. Pope Clement called for papal hearings to determine the Templars’ guilt or innocence, and once freed of the Inquisitors’ torture, many Templars recanted their confessions. Some had sufficient legal experience to defend themselves in the trials, but in 1310 Philip blocked this attempt, using the previously forced confessions to have dozens of Templars burned at the stake in Paris.

“There is a legend held by some authorities and rejected by others that in 1314 Jacques de Malay, realizing that his end was near, appointed Johannes Marcus Lormenius to be his successor.”-Orders of the Quest, The Holy Grail (Adept Series) by Manly P. Hall pg 35

The Military Order of Christ

The Military Order of Christ (previously Ordem dos Cavaleiros de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo “Order of the Knights of Our Lord Jesus Christ”) was founded in 1318 as the continuation of the Knights Templar of Tomar, following the suppression of the Templars in 1312.

After 1417, by King John I of Portugal’s request to the Pope, Prince Henry the Navigator (1417–1460) became the order’s Grand Master.

The Knights Templar and Other Orders

The symbol of the Knights Templar’s Red Cross originally came from the “Mark of Cain”. This symbol had been created over 5,000 years ago in ancient Summerian times and had been used by the followers of the One God of the “Lord” until they arrived, guided by Moses, in Palestine from Egypt.

The ships used by Christopher Columbus in 1492 when he left Spain were named la Santa Clara, la Pinta, la Santa Maria/Gallega. On the sails you can see the same Red Cross that was used by The Knights Templars.

Philip Gardner in his book Secrets of the Serpent, in Search of the Sacred Past said this in regards to the birthmark and Templar the Mark of Cain and the Templar’s croix pattee:And St. Paul himself in Galatians 6: 17 states, “Let no-one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.” Is this the original mark of Cain, who we have found to be of the serpent tribe? The idea of this sign or mark is widespread once discovered.

“Whether a strict Latin or a Templar croix pattee, it is a memorable symbol, especially seen on a stark white background. Seen in relation to the ‘mark’of Cain or the Merovingian birth-mark, or even the Templar cross, they all seemingly relate one way or another to the snake.”

“Ormus and his initiates had taken the red cross as their identifying symbol four centuries before Merovee (founder of the Merovingian Holy Grail dynasty) was born with the red cross birthmark above his heart. The Knights Templar adopted Merovee’s red cross six centuries later. To emulate the Templars, the Priory of Sion took the red cross of Ormus as its own emblem, then adopted the title l’Ordre de Ia Rose-Croix Veritas, which means “The Order of the mie Red Cross.” This additional name was added at the behest of Sion’s Grand Master, Jean de Gisors.Thus, Jean de Gisors is considered the founder of the Rose-Croix, or Rosicrucians.” – Scarlet and the Beast by John Daniel

“He (Merovee) was the first in a series of kings called the Merovingian bloodline. It is said that the offspring of Merovee were noted for a birthmark above the heart – a small red cross. This symbol eventually became the emblem of the Guardians of the Grail.” – Scarlet and the Beast by John Daniel

The Knights Templar worshipped Baphomet.

Skull and Bones is displayed on the headstones of many Templar also some gravestones show the Knight with his feet up on a dog which is a sign of the master. The same Skull and Bones displayed upon the flag of the Pirates.

“there is no question that some of Nostradamus’s prophecies were not prophecies but referred,quite explicitly, to the past to the Knights Templar, the Merovingian dynasty, the history of the house of Lorraine.” – Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent
