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.

There's more interesting aspects of the Temple Knights, eating habits, their daily routines and their absolute love for their horses. You'd be hard pressed to find a military order that took better care of their mind, bodies, weaponry, armor and the horses they took into battle throughout history. Were they perfect no but extremely interesting to say the least.

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.

The Templars didnt just go to Portugul . The Pope had already excomunicated Robert The Bruce. When a King is excommunicated so are all of his subjects. Meaning Scotland was a huge hiding place for former Templars to flee to. Those Templars fought for Robert the Bruce in the Battle of Bannakburn. Robert was so grateful he gave permission for them to use his name to knight others into their order......The Scottish Rite....

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.

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 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.

It makes sense for the Knights Templar to have been fighting in the Reconquista and the Crusades so very far far away from Scotland whom some English & Portuguese kings were also Templars btw England’s oldest alliance is with Portugal & Lionheart was also a Templar . It was only natural for Portugal to have the closest of bonds with them, defended them, were them in many Cases like of Gualdim Pais a Templar Grand Master and so obviously gave them safe passage, effectively absorbing them, are them.

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.

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.

There were quite a few kingdoms that welcomed Knights Templar, including the Scottish and English kings. In fact, England was already opposed to the Pope and France (naturally), and they would have given safe passage for the knights to escape. So, yes. According to many historians, the Temple Knights did survive and formed other orders like the Rosicrucians and possibly Freemasons.

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 pupils of Knights' Templars school here in Baldock, Herts, proudly wear the Templar cross. It isn't actually a Templar foundation. The connection is that the town itself was laid out by the Templars, circa 1140. There's a Templar tower at Denny Abbey in Cambridgeshire. In the later days of the order it served as sheltered accommodation for elderly Templars. Which I find kinda cute

The Olympic village was built on the old stores of the Templers, the road that ran through was called Temple Mills Lane, there used to be a famous club on that road during the Jungle and Drum n Bass era of East London in the 90s before they decimated the whole area with the Olympics, but sure that was symbolism of some sort..

They do still exist. I just don’t know who’s side they’re on. I’m Scottish but worked for a Colorado based company and, in 2018/19, I was in Colorado Springs visiting HQ. One night in my hotel bar, I got speaking to a guy who told me he was head of one of the KT orders and we had a debate about the world situation, me from a Conspiracy viewpoint and he, agreeing with me on the majority of what I was saying, argued the KT point of view. I thought, of course, he was probably full of it but I looked him up online and, lo and behold, he was, in fact, what he said he was. He had suggested that, if I wished to consider joining, he would welcome it however, I still questioned whether the KT were what I consider to be the right side so I didn’t follow up. It was a fascinating discussion and evening however and boy could this guy drink!

this video caught my eye because i had a very very good history teacher during my 1st years of high school who'd I often get into endless historical talks with. One day upon the talk of the fall of Rome and the fall Constantinople he told with a quizzical look that he believed while Constantinople DID fall for the most part it may have existed until the 1700s by being moved around various cities within Europe....again we only talked about it for about an hour or so and this was almost 16 years ago so i dont remember much else than that

The Templars where the first Bankers, the Horspitallers where the first to offer sanctuary, care and protection to the sick and the wounded. The Templars where mercenaries while the Hospitallers where defenders. It is for that reason that the Hospitallers were wealthier than the Templars as an organization. But farther more they are around to this day. You can go to my birthplace the Island of Rhodes in Greece or in Malta, or in Jerusalem and you can see one of the ceremonies if you want.

That was an excellent learning experience and the narration was top drawer and I enjoyed it very much and I have always wondered about these Templars about where some of them went to survive the rest of their lives. The Sinclair Castle is one of the places I think some of them settled at in Scotland and the Masons' who become Shriners here in the US have a Scottish Rite they belong to. So that's suspect also. Thanks so much for your work on this video and now that I am a subscriber I hope to see your other works in the near future.

We always survived underground in various orders such as the Ancient Celtic Church and the Franciscans. Most of us left France before the persecution . We sailed to Utrecht with our wares and then traveled overland to what would become Switzerland. I'm surprised more people do not realize the order was reformed in 2013 and our current Grand Master is in Switzerland.

Great video and presentation! You speak about the Military Order of Christ and its connection. I would agree with you regarding them and regarding your take on the Freemasons claim also. Looking again though at the Military Order of Christ, one needs to look closer at several other old orders and look at things from the direction of the Knights Templars (who no question had vast wealth and knowledge/training) being disbanded but not even close to ALL being executed. The reality is, it would be odd to think the survivors just quietly walked away into oblivion ...it would not be their way. The smarter way to think about this is... they went underground and went where they were not hunted/prosecuted ... like you show about Portugal. If you look at the time frame of the Popes declaration and the years shortly after, you can easily see where some went underground and then resurfaced (including Portugal). As an example, King Harrod of Hungary gave the same clemency and the Order of St George was born....soon to be 700 years of official existence. There are several of these such "new" orders that formed across Europe in this tine frame. Not all, but some still exist to this day. There is also the fact that even if publicly known, many had very secretive aspects within them, especially after what occurred with the Pope and the King of France. Sure, some of the wealth went to the King of France, but that was potentially a fraction of the overall wealth and to think they didnt continue to grow their own wealth would be surprising. If they did, and if they are around today, they are not riding around on horses wearing suits of armor and carrying swords but would be hidden in plain sight in the vast business world of today and maybe even in politics and dare I say it, within other organizations that meet at the world level today publicly and secretly.

A very concise presentation. I became a big fan of the Templars, as well as the Hospitallers, and Teutonic Knights. The Templars emblem shows two knights riding one horse. To show they never leave a man behind. To be fair, it has also been recorded fact that the Templars fighting extended to killing not just enemy combatants but entire populations with civilians of men, women, children, and old people. Because the populations were not Christian. The movie ‘Kingdom of God’ makes a brief reference to this fact.
