If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Also, I included a portrait of 'Baldwin II' instead of 'Baldwin I' when talking about the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Apologies.

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

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.

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]

@@Delta_47 Based Portugal

[@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.

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.

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.

[@desert7868]

another note. "dissolved" by King Philip IV of France who instead of paying off his debt to them, just murdered them, then stole all their assets. Catholicism is such a outstanding organization.

[@jlvfr]

@@desert7868 yeah, the Templars in central/western Europe by then were more bankers than a military order; France wasn't the only kingdom that owed then a lot, so did the Vatican. What an amazing coincidence...

[@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.

Could you go into more detail about the individual orders? Perhaps their structure, finances, training/how you became one, do any still exist and if so how are they different if they are? I found this really interesting, thanks.

[@TenOfTwenty]

The Knights Hospitaller still exist, they split off into different groups called Orders based on their geographic location. The most important one is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and weirdly enough, it's current Prince and Grand Master (leader) is actually a Canadian lawyer. Regardless, the Knights Hospitaller mainly focuses on charity now days.

[@neilsimpson3181]

Interesting & informative

[@edbeckett2400]

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.

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.

[@wallybonejengles5595]

My ancestor was actually a Grandmaster in the Order of Christ, a sort of offshoot Knights Templar who kept going. He was before Henry the Navigators time, and his son was a crewman and friend to the Prince who himself became Grandmaster. Order of Christ still exists as a recognition of outstanding state service to Portugal. Its sort of the Portuguese Medal of Honor.

[@mydickisunbelievablysmallb7098]

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. When the templar grand master was burned he shouted through the flames "God knows who is wrong and has sinned. Soon a calamity will occur to those who have condemned us to death" pope Clement would die a month after that and king Philip not long after.
