Secret Societies | The Knights Templar

The Knights of Templar was formed in the 12th century in 1120 and its purpose was to protect Christian pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. At the time of their inception, the Templars only numbered nine in their ranks, all of whom had sworn specific vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience they offered their lives to safeguard the routes the pilgrims took they were now warrior monks. Soon the role of the Templars expanded to defend the Christian territories in the Holy land from Mulsim warlords. Just thirty years later, their numbers had swollen to the thousands and were prosperous enough to lend money and credit to both citizens and government figures alike.
