The origin of the Templars: These knights needed a stronghold, so the leader of the Kingdom of Jerusalem gave them a part of the mosque, which happened to be on the site of Solomon's Temple. They called themselves "Templars"!
The reason why the Templars developed so fast is that they combined religion and military affairs. This development model has been supported by many people!
At that time, the nobles worshipped religious culture very much, so the Knights Templar was first respected and recognized by the nobles, not to mention the church. The establishment of the Knights Templar has obviously improved their status, so it is natural to applaud!
In A.D. 1 139, Pope Pope Innocent II gave them great power and financial support. First of all, they only need to be responsible to the Pope in the future, and others no longer have the right to command them; Secondly, they not only don't need to pay any taxes, but also can realize the policy of paying taxes to others in their own territory!
In this way, the Templar grew up without any suspense. They have enough economic foundation and strong backing, guaranteed all the materials needed for training, removed all the obstacles needed for training, and finally became the most reliable force of the Holy See!
Legend has it that the wealth of the Templars almost exceeds the wealth of their country. They have more than 9,000 churches and castles, and their income is unimaginable. So don't be afraid even if you lose once or twice on the battlefield at that time, because with such a strong economic foundation as a guarantee, they will recover soon!
Of course, water can carry a boat and also overturn it. It is precisely because they have no worries that they indulge in such a superior environment, slowly lose their vigilance and squander their wealth without restraint, which is why they eventually go to extinction!
