The Invisible Basilica: Jacobus Burgundus Molensis The Knights Templar were officially recognized as an Order by Pope Honorius in 1128 with the enthusiastic support of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem and Bernard de Clairvaux (later St. Bernard). They were vested with the habit of the Order (white for knights, black for sergeants, green for chaplains) and a sheepskin girdle or cord which they were never to remove, as a token of their vow of chastity. There has always been a great deal of speculation regarding the possibility that the Templar Order may have been influenced by the Assassins of Hasan ibn Sabah, due to certain similarities of organizational structure. www.hermetic.com /sabazius/demolay.htm   (1134 words)

Knights Templar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Each country had a Master of the Order for the Templars in that region, and all of them were subject to the Grand Master, appointed for life, who oversaw both the Order's military efforts in the East, and their financial holdings in the West. The Order's Grand Master Gerard de Ridefort made some fatally bad decisions, losing battles to their old enemy Saladin, and shaming the Templars in the process by allowing himself to be ransomed, rather than fighting to the death as was the Templar way. The Templars were organized as a monastic order, following a rule created for them by their patron, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, a member of the Cistercian Order. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Knights_Templar   (1607 words)

Jacques de Molay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These conflicts were weakening the Templar Order along with something that would turn out to be far more serious, something Jacques de Molay had discovered during his journey through France; scandalous and perverse rumours and whispers about the order had begun to surface. On 14 September, in the deepest secrecy, he sent out his orders throughout all of France which resulted in the mass arrests of Templars and confiscation of their possessions in the whole country on Friday, 13 October 1307. With no crusader states left to protect together with other problems surfacing, the order's right to exist was put into question. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jacques_de_Molay   (2492 words)

Jacques de Mollay In 1265, in Beaune, France, he joined the Knights Templar, an order founded in 1128 to keep the Holy Land of Palestine and settled in Paris in 1140, and then fought in Syria. Under horrible tortures, de Molay confessed that some of the charges brought against the order (for instance, to deny Christ and to spit upon the crucifix) were true, but de Molay rejected a charge of sodomy. Molay asked the pope to investigate certain spurious accusations of blasphemy and sodomy that had recently been made against his order. goofy313g.free.fr /calisota_online/exist/molay.html   (503 words)

Amazon.com: Tales of the Knights Templar: Books: Katherine Kurtz Even the infidels knew that Templars were honorable men, for they neither asked for, nor accepted ransom, nor would they retreat in battle (unless out-numbered by at least three-to-one, and even then only under direct orders.) It is said that even the famed Assassins feared and payed tribute to the Templars. The introduction,as well as, the "interludes" between stories, are an excellent, readable history of the order, while the stories themselves cover the mythology and legend from many differing perspectives- from the founding of the order, to the present day, to the far future. Also, it is pointed out that the name of the idol that Templars supposedly worshiped (Baphomet) is actually a code for Sophia (Holy Wisdom.) It seems that tht Templars were "lovers of Sophia", i.e. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446601381?v=glance   (1452 words)

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Under the guise of a new crusade, the Grand Masters of the Hospitaler and the Templars were summoned to Paris and told to bring only few men with them, as there were plenty men from each order in Paris at the time.

Dragon Key Press Articles “Thus as regent of France and Grand Master of the Temple it provided an official renewal and legitimization of the Order of the Temple as a Secular Military Order Chivalry and also its right to resume the use of “sovereign” in its title.” Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar was burned at the stake on March 18, 1314. While it is widely held that the Templar fleet disappeared into the night and set sail for the Scottish coastline, we contend that this is not likely to be the case on the pure basis of the rough North Sea and the type of ships primarily used by the Templars. www.dragonkeypress.com /articles/article_2004_10_25_1012.html   (3254 words)

Teutonic Order In 1558 Gothard Kettler was elected coadjutor Master, succeeding as Master in 1559 on the resignation of Master von Furstenberg. The badge of the Order is a latin Cross in black enamel with a white enamel border, surmounted (for Knights of Honor) by a helmet with black and white feathers or (for Marians) by a simple circular ornament, and is suspended from a black and white ribbon. The Order still continued to recruit priests and nuns who dedicated themselves to hospitaller and humanitarian services, but the religious members were effectively separated from the lay and professed knights by the dropping of the requirement that the latter should live in a convent of the Order. www.chivalricorders.org /vatican/teutonic.htm   (9042 words)

J. Demolay The Grand Master of the Knights Templar invariably was Master of the Templars at Jerusalem, and in Cyprus after the loss of the Holy Land to the Turks. The Knights Templar, or Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, was one of the three out-standing military orders of the Middle Ages in Christendom. The future St. Bernard did not attend the Council of Troyes in 1128, at which the Rule of the Temple was drawn up, but he seems to have inspired it - the constitution, ritual, discipline and very core of the order. www.tracingboard.com /j__demolay.htm   (2812 words)

The Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus In return for these Papal privileges, the Grand Master was required to maintain two trireme galleys to defend the Church and, in 1573, he duly endowed the Order with 15,000 scudi raised on various of his personal estates and properties.

The Order of Saint Stephen of Tuscany (Ordine di Santo Stefano di Toscana) [9] The Grand Duchy of Tuscany was reconstituted as the Kingdom of Etruria under Lodovico, former Duke of Parma, and the new king became Grand Master of the Order by the terms of the peace of Lunéville on 9 February 1801. There was a Council of the Order which met regularly in one of the two Convents at Pisa, composed of twelve military knights or noble priestly knights, of whom five Grand Crosses were elected for five year terms at the Chapter-General of the Order, attendance at which was obligatory to all knights resident in Tuscany.

"Revived" Orders: the Order of Saint Lazarus In December 1935, the duke of Seville is elected Grand-Master of the Order.

The Pope gladly approved that creation as a manifestation of Henri IV's Catholic faith and accepted the rule of the new order on February 26, 1608, and the nomination of Nerestang as Grand-Master of the new order on April 4, 1608 was also approved. www.heraldica.org /topics/orders/lazarus.htm   (1811 words)
