Knights Templar clothing

The Knights Templar, founded in the early 12th century, were a powerful Christian military order. They protected pilgrims and amassed wealth. Recognizable by their white mantles with a red cross, the Templars operated a unique banking system and gained influence. However, suspicions arose, leading to their arrest and eventual disbandment in 1307. The Templars' legacy endures as a mysterious and influential medieval organization.
