Order of the Knights Templar
The Knights Templar are among the most famous warriors of the Middle Ages. In the early 12th century a knight had become the symbol of the lower nobility. They were men who ran estates through kingdoms, and who mounted on horseback, were the most important figure on the medieval battlefield. The Knights Templar foresake a secular life for a religious one. They had a plain red cross on a white background. The order ended in superstition and intrigue when accused of heresy. (Kremer, 2025)
