The Knights Templar was a powerful, wealthy, and elite Catholic military order founded in 1118 to protect European pilgrims in the Holy Land during the Crusades. Operating as "monk-warriors," they combined monastic life with combat, gaining immense influence as early bankers and financiers before their sudden, dramatic suppression in 1312. Founded in 1118 by French knight Hugues de Payens to protect travelers in the Holy Land, they were based at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Known as the "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon," they were officially recognized by the Church in 1129. They were divided into knights (aristocratic warriors), sergeants (lower-class support), and chaplains. They served as elite shock troops during the Crusades, recognized by their white mantles with a red cross.
