The "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" is more commonly known as the Knights Templar. Founded in the early 12th century, this medieval Christian military order aimed to protect pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land during the Crusades. The Templars became known for their distinctive white mantles adorned with a red cross and played a significant role in the religious and military landscape of the time. The order grew rapidly in wealth and influence, establishing a network of fortifications and financial systems across Europe and the Middle East. However, in the early 14th century, the Knights Templar faced persecution, leading to their dissolution by Pope Clement V in 1312. Their legacy continues to intrigue historians and the public alike.
