  • Fun fact: As the video says, the templars fled to Portugal to form a new order, members of that order where present in pretty much every big moment of Portugal's age of exploration. The Order of Christ, still exists today as one of the honorary commendations the portuguese republic can give. The president is seen many times with a red and green ribbon in formal events, people think these colors represent the national colors, but they are actually representing the Order of Christ (red) and the Order of Avis (green) of which the president of Portugal is the grandmaster, as soon as he/she takes office. So Ubisoft, if you ever want a really cool Assassin's Creed, you know where to do it.

    • see the real trick is how do you spin it. the disbanding of the templars was an assassin ploy and they have come to finish them off? or had the assassins' infiltrated the templars and the pope expunged them as a result. Desmond was descended from a templar and an assassin mayhap that was enough for another descendant of his to infiltrate and subsume the templars overt order or did the assassins' blackmail the french king and the pope to oust the templars before killing them to hide the evidence or in punishment for the brutal way they went about it. could be interesting setting a game in that post templar age when the assassin order is at its height and you attempt to eliminate their last stronghold but somehow fail to eliminate them bc of either a greater threat or the need to secure a relic of some sort.

  • The best conspiracy theory about the Templars IMO is this one: Before they were disbanded, what was item 1 on the agenda? Having their own Templar state in Europe. What was their biggest job by their end? International banking. Is there a country today with a red and white cross flag known for international banking and unique to all other European nations in its foriegn policy? Yeaaap. It's of course a more complicated story, but the Templars used that land in the middle of Europe all the time and had strong connections with the local cantons who were fighting their overlords in France and HRE for independence.

  • I really appreciated this account of the Knights Templar. The narrative follows precisely what I found when I researched the subject. But I can add more information that helps to open up a subsequent story that the video clip had not intended to address. Before I started researching the Templars, I developed a fascination with everything Portuguese. I even devoted six years towards learning the language. What interested me was why did the Portuguese push out into the Atlantic Ocean at the start of the 1400s? Compared to other European countries, how did the Portuguese gain the incentives (and knowledge) to venture out into the big waters. As I sought to answer my research questions, I visited Sagres, a small town at the southwest corner of Europe's continent and also of Portugal. From the town one can walk out to what is claimed as the location of a school led by Prince Henry the Navigator. Out on a large outcropping, with the sky above and the churning sea down below, it is assumed that it was here that Henry educated the next generation in navigation, cartography, and everything related to serous seafaring. Speaking with a Portuguese friend late one night, he related to me that members of the Portuguese intelligencia think that Henry's school was not near Sagres. This late night point got to my curiosities and I used my annual visits to Portugal to also explore the Knights Templar. While in Paris I had learned of the fate of Jacque de Molay, and the ending of the good days for the Templars. Researching a bit, I found out about a town known as Thomar or Tomar that is located on the Rio Tejo, upriver from Lisbon, upriver from Santarem. Upon visiting Tomar, I found a statue in the town square commemorating a Templar who founded the town. I do have precise research notes in front of me, but I'll use my pretty good memory. Dom Gualdim Pais (1118-1195) was a member of the Templars and he founded Tomar. When the King of France ruined the Templars and burned Jacques de Molay in 1314, the story I put together is that the rank and file of the Templars quietly marched out of Paris and France and headed to already founded Tomar. As was noted in the video, the fleeing Templars were welcomed by King Denis I. The Templars changed their name to the ""Order of our Lord Jesus Christ,"(Ordem de Cristo) or (a ordem dos cavaleiros de Cristo) : and are still going strong today, at least in Portugal. If one looks up prominent members of Portuguese society, essentially every one is a member of this brotherhood. As but one example, the currently head of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, was also a prime minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002. My research into the Knights of Christ listed him as a member, as is every other prominent male member of Portuguese society. But this is only the start of the story that could follow the video. Yes, the Templars continue to this day, in this modified form in Portugal. Getting back to what was my research question, why did the Portuguese push out into the Atlantic and essentially open up an era of global commercial trade that is still defines our world today? . The answer to this question takes us back to Tomar where the Templars had settled. I think this is where Prince Henry had his school. In prior years the Templars were integrated into the Holy Land and once at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, one is close to the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Arab world. The Arabs had a fully developed trade with India, especially a trade in spices, which were so important for the preservation of proteins in meats, fish, dairy. And these spices as preservatives of foods is what the Europeans needed to raise their nutritional standards. My understanding is that the Templars had gained this knowledge regarding Arab trade with India (and later Ottoman trade) and also had the charts of the seas to India. Another dimension to this story is that as we get into the 1400s there are going to be hostilities developing towards non-christians in Al-Andalus (today's southern Spain), and the Jews feeling this pressure that would lead to the Inquisition in the 1490s, started to migrate out of Al-Andalus and over to Portugal where the anti-semitism would remain less pronounced. When I visited Tomar I understood that there had stood a synagogue of importance. So the understanding that I formulated is that there was a synergy forming in the location of Tomar: of Templars, with their wealth and knowledge of the eastern Mediterranean and the cartography of the Arabian seas and Indian Ocean. Then you have the Sephardic Jews with their background in and orientation towards taking risk and going forward with merchant activity. Add to this Prince Henry, who was royalty, but without responsibilities associated with ruling Portugal. My understanding is that in Tomar, Prince Henry would lead the way for ultimately getting to India by developing seafaring capacities that would carry their modest ships around the Cape of Good Hope and on to Kerala, India. They came up with designs for the "caravel" with its extra thick hull made of oak and a triangular, lateen sail that allowed the boats to beat into the wind. We could think of Tomar as where astronauts of the 1400s learned what they needed to know to undertake the great seafaring adventures. The future captains got their schooling in navigation, learned of the sextant (from the Arab realm) for plotting latitude, and all of the other essentials for pushing out into and traversing the great Oceans on the way to India and beyond. Based upon my research, intuition, and carefully speculation, we need to think of the Templars as evolving and seeking out new challenges and creating new opportunities. In this sense, the Templars helped to define the "Age of Exploration and Discovery," and changed the course of world history. If one visits Tomar today, on the edge of town and up on a hilltop, one finds a convent that was transformed to accommodate the Templars. Integrated into the convent I found a replica of parts of the Solomon's Temple, complete with symbols that suggest a secret society rooted in the mysticism of the Holy Land. I was hoping for a museum in order to gain better background, but my sense is that the Portuguese have not fully researched this story that I have tried my best to put together. Maybe others contributing to the comments can offer their insights into what I have laid out in the lines above, JH

    • Good findings, just to add it has less to do with Jews as the Inquisition and the Reconquista was mainly against the middle eastern influences. they fled to countries like Netherlands, England (William of Orange invasion) & Ottoman Empire , 2 of 3 Nations tried to destroy Portugal. Henry the Navigator was the Kings Son so he’d have been a Templar. The Templar and the Portuguese became one interchangeable goals. They changed history, as Europe would have surely been conquered had they not found an alternate route.

Were they perfect no but extremely interesting to say the least.

  • I have personally met and spoken with a Templar. I spent two years abroad in Brazil as a missionary. During my time there, I met a lot of different people, including a lot of Freemasons. Their presence is pretty strong at least in southern Brazil. In one city I lived in for a while, called Rio do Sul in Santa Catarina, there was a particularly interesting experience. I was going around home to home trying to find anyone who would talk to me and there was this one elderly man who seemed interested. He had a decent house from the outside but nothing to tell stories about. I went inside his home to talk and he took me to what seemed to be a study/den. Think about the classic rich boomer studies you see in movies where everything is kind of dark, elaborate wood ornamenting, etc. One detail that I noticed was his ring. I asked him about it and he told me something that I had never heard before. He told me that he was a Templar. Obviously I asked him to clarify and he mentioned the order of the Knights Templar. Part of the story he told was that of the Freemasons. According to his story, the Freemasons took many aspects of the Templars but the remaining Templars had moved over to the Freemasons. With this group, they started a diverging branch of Freemasonry called the Templars. What that actually does and what it comes down to as far as I understand, it’s the exact same thing and there’s nothing particularly special about the Templars vs Freemasons, except the Templars are very specifically Christian Freemasons. That’s it. Anyway, thanks for listening to my TED Talk.

    • The Knights Templar was a Catholic military order. Freemasonry is explicitly forbidden by the Catholic Church, so forbidden it results in excommunication.. With that said, the REAL Knights Templar (if they truly exist anymore) would absolutely not be Freemasons, despite the claims that Freemasonry makes, as they're the same group of individuals who have made borderline blasphemous claims in the past.

It was basically fashion to surround yourself with mysterious mumbo jumbo in the 18th century and thats why for instance the Freemasons are how they are!

  • As a Portuguese, i´m proud of our Templar Legacy. Portugal was raised as a Templar country and ouir first King, Afonso Henriques was brother of the Knights Templars. The Reconquista, our own crusade against the muslims, was aided by the Templars and other Orders. When the Templars ended, the wise King Dinis renew the Templars Order in the Order of Christ (Ordem de Cristo) transforming the red cross, putting a white cross in the center, meaning that the previous Templar Order was purified. This new Order of Christ (Ordem de Cristo) funded the Age of Discoveries (the sails of the Portuguese ships were displaying the new red and white cross, and not the royal portuguese coat of arms). Thus, many of the countries of the many viewers of this video, owe, in fact, the discovery of the World by the Portuguese (renewed) Knights Templars.

  • Another little adding to the history, it wasnt only Portugal. Spain, after the disbanded order, king James II of Aragon, who didnt agree with the popes decision of disbanding the order, but had no option other than to obey as it would mean lots of problems for him and his kingdom. James II "disbanded" the order of the templars in Spain, but instead of arresting the templars, he created a new order named the Order of Montesa, where not only he hired back the previous templar knights, but he also gave them castles and new equipment, and adopted traditions and organization aspects from the order of the templars in order to keep their legacy in the region. Later on the order of montesa, including the knights templar in it, joined forces with the order of Calatrava, another Spanish order who was growing really strong, and eventually became an official military branch when the Catholic Kings of Spain got to power after the victory in the reconquista against the moors.

  • The Templars were recognised by King Baldwin II in somewhere around about 1118. In 1127 they came scurrying back to Europe all of them all nine, met with the King of France and then went north to Scotland to a family known as the Sinclairs of Rosslyn, another branch of the Rex Deus families and within ten years they were granted properties at such a speed that in many cases they couldn't garrison them for some time afterwards. Nearly every Rex Deus family in Europe gave them property. Within eight months of returning to Europe they had obtained through the good offices of another Rex Deus member Bernard of Clairvaux or Bernard de Fontaine to give him his real name, they had obtained papal recognition. A couple of years after that that were granted exemption from taxes from the Church and exempted taxes from the state, they were responsible to no King, no Emperor, no Bishop only to the Pope alone through their Grand Master. It was a degree of autonomy that has never been granted to any order before or since.

  • The big picture is lacking for the reason of the fall of the Knights Templars... Sure, money was a big deal for Philip IV, but it wasn't the main reason the Templars had to go. The real reason is at 5:08 in the video. See, Philip had a little fight with the Papacy. And by that I mean that he eventually attacked the Pope (at Agnani), resulting in his death, probably murdered his successor, and then the next Pope, that happened to be French for some reason, was moved to Avignon. Philip made the papacy his bitch. And yeah, the Knights Templar were an army under the direct control of the Pope. So a foreign army on French soil. And just like De Gaulle in 1966, Philip wouldn't let that be.

    • The templars were subsumed into the Rosicrucian order after it's dissolution and branched off into other organisations like the later freemasons. Rosicrucian membership varied from theologians like Luther himself and philosophers and scientists like Paracelsus and Descartes. The scientific revolution, the rediscovery and infatuation with classical culture, as well as the dawn of humanism were all of Rosicrucian provenance, inspired by the deceased templars' condemnation of tyrants and their betrayal. Demolay's example is also the source for the qadosh ritual in the Scottish rite.

  • The Templars wealth was the financial basis for Portugal‘s creation of a naval fleet, its discoveries, conquests and its rise to world power status. Btw there’s also a borough in Berlin named after the Templars: Tempelhof (Templars Court), famous for its UFA-Filmstudios, Publishing house Ullstein and the old airport THF, arguably the world’s oldest commercial airport including the terminal building, the 1936 world’s biggest building by volume, later surpassed by the Pentagon in Washington.

  • Hi there, just listened to this video and found it really interesting. Have read a few books on the Knights Templer and their story has fascinated me for years. I was also enthralled by the book "The Great Siege of Malta 1565", where the Knights of Malta with the Islanders and other soldiers defended Malta against Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire with all the Turkish Amarda and their huge army. This was an intriging book and to this day, one of my favourites. I visited Malta and saw all the sights pertaining to this heroic battle. These Knights were hospitalers, who first had their headquarters on Rhodes Island and then later were ousted from the Island and had to settle in Malta, where with their expertise and know-how turned the island into a navel base. They do say that thanks to their brave deeds in the Siege of Malta those many centuries ago, that it stopped Islam taking over the whole of Europe - otherwise we today would be under the Star and the Crescent. I can only recommend anyone interested in the Knights of Malta to read the book The Great Siege, by Ernle Bradford.

I can say that with relative certainty because there are two branches of my family that are full on Masons and they know members of the Order (despite what the video states, most actual Masons based in Europe do not consider themselves successors of the Knight's Templar, though they to interact and there is some crossover). My great aunt actually attended one of their ceremonies when doing research for her book series on the Covenanters.

Portuguese Order of Christ, 'heirs' of the fallen Temple in some sense, was responsible years later for the Portuguese 'Great Navigations' (Fernão de Magalhães - called Magellan in English - , Vasco da Gama, etc.); the 'Treaty of Tordesilhas' between Portugal and Spain had their decisive participation, leading to the later so-called discovery of my country, Brazil (that they probably knew was here).
