The Knights Templar was a military order of knights established in the 12th century to protect Christian pilgrims during the Crusades.
The order assumed greater military duties during the 12th century. Eventually, its wealth and prominence provoked opposition from rival orders. Blamed for Crusader failures in the Holy Land and falsely accused of blasphemy, the order was destroyed in 1312.
