Templars*

Nop, they were prayin on baphomet as their god

Had their own currency etc and a lot of political power

Fortunately, or unfortunately, they're not as mystical and secret as everyone thinks. Probably the most scandalous thing about the Templars is that the Pope ordered them to be left alone but the letter was only recently discovered on top of a shelf in the archives

There's no evidence that they had their own currency but they held enormous power

Because all the powers in western Europe deposited their money with them

The majority of people in medieval Europe did not use currency at all anyway

All of the charges of heresy etc against the Templars were false. It would be like saying the French Foreign Legion is a homosexual pagan cult

I have read a lot about them but as I said I mostly take them with a grain of salt as you aren't sure of what you see with all this revisionism. But they were kinda shady as an order.

They may indeed would be true Christian fighters fighting in the name of god but they could either be the monsters they have been accused to be.

Especially when half of the crusades pillaged European countries before even venturing into middle east

They were accused by the French king who hated them and wanted their money

That's the 4th Crusade you're referring to

Those are not Templars. Crusaders as a general term, which did not exist as a word back then, were ordinary people: peasants, mercenaries, knights, lords, priests, bishops, even kings, who self-financed a volunteer war against the Muslims

It would be analogous to you buying your own tank to fight in the middle east, for free

True, that was a bad analogy from my part.

The ordinary crusaders, some did veer from the path

Oh great one of the documentaries I have seen about KT that linked them with Freemasons just got copyrighted from ytb xD

And they were all excommunicated by the Church for attacking the Byzantines

Check piratebay

I used to call ytb JewTube but then apparently there really is a site called JewTube

wait really?

Just googled it... I wouldn't even have thought that this existed xD

I know right

The Templars were dissolved in 1307 I believe

If I remember they were branded heretics and were executed.

Yes and no

A lot were yeah

But a lot also just joined the Hospitallers

I will have to restudy about them

and find some of the documentaries again, but its hard to find them when ytb is striking them every time

Only ones that never get striked is from BBC and history channel -_-

History Channel: the Templars were aliens who ran a pawn shop

Nazi aliens

BBC: the Templars were black women

xD

haha isn't that the truth

"templars were black women" 🤣

I'm off to sleep man, good night or Good morning btw 😛
