Knights Templar: Holy Warriors or Secret Bankers?

Knights Templar: Holy Warriors or Secret Bankers? In this insightful episode of The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into one of history’s most fascinating mysteries. Were the Knights Templar simply devout warriors protecting Christian pilgrims, or did they secretly become the world’s first international bankers, shaping systems of power still in use today? This critical examination unpacks their rise from humble beginnings in 1119 to becoming a medieval superpower, innovating financial systems like letters of credit that revolutionized banking. We explore their sudden downfall under King Philip IV of France, the shocking conspiracies surrounding their wealth and legacy, and how their story echoes into 2025.

Join us as we trace their journey through crusades, fortunes, and betrayals, uncovering the truth behind the myths. From their financial empire to the curses and relics tied to their name, this must-watch episode offers a unique perspective on how their influence still shapes global finance and power structures. Jeremy Ryan Slate, CEO and co-founder of Command Your Brand, brings his passion for history and expertise in challenging mainstream narratives to this episode.
