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 😛

later Mike

Later dude

I hate that label of all the crusades being "jew-bashing" exercises. Or all were spent attacking Europeans for practice.

The practice of a medieval siege against any enemy was that you offer them a chance to surrender before you besiege the city. The siege lasts until they surrender, due to lack of food

Like a big staring contest

Very few battles happened in open terrain, almost all were sieges

Yeah

And of course some Jews fought on the Muslim side and got what they deserved

The only contemporary account of a massacre of civilians at the Liberation of Jerusalem was by a priest who was over 600 miles away
