The moral of the Templers story is........don't loan huge sums of money to the King of France and expect to be paid back. One day you're a Christian knight with huge amounts of money . The next day they're hanging you by your balls from the ceiling.

i mean, there are some orders that just survived like the teuton knights.

[@brittakriep2938]

​@@yopoxikeweapescai9066: In german town Bad ( Bath) Mergentheim, Teutonic Knights had their formal headquarters after 1525 to end of HRE in 103/06. There in palace is a large museum about Teutonic Knights. According to this museum , the last man who had the right to call himself a Ritter ( knight) died 1971/73 in high age. In 1920s the Teutonic Knights Order changed its name into Teutonic Order, so in early 1920s last men got the rank Ritter.

[@goncalo9999]

The Knights Templar continued in Portugal. The then King of Portugal had their name changed to the Order of Christ, thus avoiding the persecution from the pope. “Nope, we totally don’t have Templars in these parts, move along”.

[@JackWildxy]

And then the new Order of Christ played a major role during the exploration period and the discovery of the Americas

[@Delta_47]

Huge note is that the Portuguese crown was the only one in Europe to literally say "Nah fudge off France". They not only welcomed Templar refugees and created their new order, they defyed both France and the Pope by refusing to persecute them

[@JackWildxy]

[@om-qg7ju]

​@@Delta_47why did the pope want to persecute them?

[@Delta_47]

@@om-qg7ju He didn't really want to, but he was "forced" By the French King. Basically the French king owed a lot of money to a lot of people, and one of the entities he owed the most to were the templars. At the time he had a great influence over the Pope and convinced him to accept his accusations against the templars. They were accused of heresy, rape and everything really. The ones that were caught were tortured until they admitted the false claims to be true. This persecution was enforced by the French crown upon the whole of Europe. As far as I know, Portugal was the only kingdom to refuse, always working to convince the Pope to let them create a holy order, The Order of Christ. Once this order was established, all possessions of the templars in Portugal was given to them, and the templars in refuge joined the new Order.

[@daveweiss5647]

This is the best quick explanation of the crusader orders I have ever seen. Great job!

[@LeeBolger]

Great video! Maybe for the 2.0 version include what happened with the Knights Hospitaliers and how they are incredibly active to this day, even as a member of the UN (United Nations - Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta). When the Order split during the reformation the protestant arms became the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (Anglican arm and a Knightly order under the British crown to this day and a vast first aid organisation). Another part became the Bailiwick of Brandenburg of the Chivalric Order of Saint John of the Hospital at Jerusalem (Protestant arm), Commenderij Nederland van de Balije Brandenburg der Johanniter Orde (Dutch Reformed arm) and the Johanniterorden i Sverige (Lutheran arm). Equally interesting is that Napoleon dissolved the order after seizing their land (Malta). What survived and remained of the Order fled, in part, to Russia where Tsar Paul I, intrigued by the chivalric and religious nature of the order, offered them protection. He even went as far as becoming a Grand Master of a Russian priory of the order. The West hated this then, and hates it today, and you'll find various sites of the Catholic/Protestant Orders mentioned 'fake' or 'Quasi' Orders pretending to be Successors. The politics and strife lives on and is worth mentioning, I think!

[@FrithonaHrududu02127]

That's always fascinated me. They had colonies in the Caribbean and are the tiniest country in the world.

[@gordonbryce]

I wonder how the Czars comprised their strong attachment to the Russian orthodox church and their old rivals in the Catholic church orders? I guess the Czars gave them limited protection under some restrictions in the Russian priory mentioned?

[@paulsmith5752]

Most of the Orders of Saint John who are genuine descendants of the Hospitallers (e.g. the SMOM, Johanniterorden and Knights MVO of St John) recognise each other as valid successor orders, whether Catholic or Protestant (the SMOM - Catholic - and the Protestant Alliance of the Orders of St John of Jerusalem).

[@FrithonaHrududu02127]

A note on the *_Knights Templar_* . In Portugal, in recognition and reward for their vital services in the Reconquista, King D. Dinis, while abolishing the local chapter(s), had the members and assets be transfered to a new order created specifically for this purpose, the *_Order of Christ_* . Excelent video.

[@alfonsoherguetagomez1821]

The same in Castilla-León. The order army was the most powerful permanent army in christian Spain, so the king simply transferred the fortresses, knigths and whealts to the order of Alcantara. It happened the same in the kingdom of Aragon, where the destination was the order of Montesa. Those knigths were vital for the Reconquista, because they were highly motivated, trained and able warriors.

the Iberian peninsula was the actual success story of the crusades, not the Holy Land. the two primary Iberian Christian kingdoms that emerged out of the Reconquista and the global maritime empires they created were really an extension of the crusades. in particular the Portuguese, as they then went on the offensive and took the crusading and fighting spirit head on into North Africa and the rest of the Islamic world outside the peninsula. from the inception of their Reconquista in 868 AD, to their final withdrawal from Morocco in 1769, the Portuguese and their empire battled Islam for 901 years. correct me if i'm wrong, but i can't think of any other European kingdom/ nation who battled Islam longer.

Really appreciate the effort you went too in highlighting these orders and History. I would mention though that understanding these orders and dissolution's is far more complex than first appears. A lot of these orders still exist to day or are revered in other similar organisations. For example the Templars actually continued to exist in Portugal, Eire & Scotland (for a while - before they became parts of other holy orders). The Order of Hospitallers - Now the Order of St John (Charitable ambulance service) and Knights of Malta still exist today, they even have a museum in Ldn worth visiting if you make it to the city. Additionally the Masons still have a sect for the Order of Acre - (Order of /Knights of St Thomas Becket') Also a lot of these orders have somewhat changed hands through the turmoil of the reformation, its an interesting history and worth while spending some time to look at. I would suggest you stay away from the Neuvo formations though, they are odd and have nothing to do with the actual ancestry and heritage of the actual orders themselves.

[@str.77]

The Hospitallers were actually founded in 1070 in Akkon, before the Crusades. They originally were about providing for the sick but later imitated the example of the Templars and became knights as well.

Modern people are quite quick to forget that the crusades were defensive wars. Muslims slaughtered their way out of Arabia and into Persia, Judaea, Africa, and Iberia. The crusades were launched to reclaim the lands and protect the Christians being slaughtered and persecuted. They were largely successful until the mongol invasions and the rise of the ottomans reversed those fortunes. Africa was lost, and we only reclaimed Judaea for a short time, but Anatolia was mostly taken back for another 400 years, and Spain was saved from Muslim oppression.

Gotta love the "we only reclaimed..." What exactly did you reclaim personally? Also remind me, which SUCCESSFULL crusade reconquer anything in Africa? I must be missing something from my history knowledge, maybe you can help me ;) These were far from defensive measures from Christians - but well needed to stop expansion into Roman's Anatolian holdings and very succesfull, because they had the same recipe for succes as early Muslim conquests - well, minus plague that decimated their enemies. Fanatical soldiers who butchered anything in their sight -including other christians and each other from time to time :) They were just as savage as muslims at the time, if not more.

[@fabriciofazano]

well, christians also slaughtered millions of "pagans" in their wars of conquest in the British Isles, Saxony, Poland, Scandinavia, the Baltics and Russia throughout the middle ages and muslims were also remarkably more capable of peaceful coexistence with different faiths than christians in deeply multicultural and multiethnic places such as Egypt, West Africa and Persia

You are right. They didn’t have weird stuff going on but the french king made up alot of stuff because he owed alot of money to the templars. They were accused of heresy, homosexuality, theft and alot of other things and were tortured until they said it was true. The templars would be absolved of everything but not before dozens were burned at the stake.
