A Day in the Life of the Knights Templar: The Elite Fighting Force of the Medieval Times
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- In this video, which is part of our day in the life series, we discuss what it was like to be a member of the elite fighting force of the day. Taking vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, they were so well trained that in battle they were forbidden from retreating unless they were outnumbered three to one and yet so devout that they were considered a monastic order. For almost two centuries they were venerated as devout warriors, gathered from across Europe, who would fight on behalf of God and defend the Holy Land. What could possibly go wrong?

This video is very interesting to understand the fight of the Knight Templars to God and preserve the Christianity🙏🌷
Fight for God and preserve Christianity was their facade. If you believe the folklore in France, which actually had to host them, they preferred to spend their time stealing money and assaulting virgins.
June 14, 1284:
Woke up late. Protected some pilgrims, only one killed by heathen, not bad. Washed socks. Saw doctor who said I don't have plague but prescribed leeches anyway, better safe than sorry. Prayed to the Lord. Tomorrow I will repaint my shield. Not the best day, but not the worst.
Feeling cute. Might sack Constantinople later. I don't know... 🤺
‘Still hungry… always hungry’
I always realize when learning about medieval times how good most have it in first world countries now compared to then.
yeah man, the 20 hour work week and owning land whilst being able to feed a family of 8+ and your grandparents really sucked
Right, it is much better to put gas in your car and go to a job you dislike than it is to be a Knight Templar.
Dude, shit was absolutely nuts. Even peaceful, daily life was stupidly difficult. Lol
@@dudelydudeington9789nobody knew any different back then tho
@Joshcable195 even so, we are incredibly lucky to be living in 2023 and not 1023 😂 Although i’m sure they will be saying the same of us in 3023
Alexa interrupting the video is priceless... lol! Great video!
A very important fact which is rarely mentioned: the Order of the Temple is not completely gone, they changed names.
Because of their help during the process of the _Reconquista_ (when the Iberian Peninsula fought to expel the Moors) the Templars were awarded several properties and privileges. Only a few years after the persecution in France (in 1319), King Dennis (D. Dinis) of Portugal transferred all the assets and legal privileges of the Templars in Portugal to a new order, The Order Of The Militia of Jesus Christ. This happened so those properties (and their revenue) were not transferred to the Order of Malta before the old Order was completely extinguished. So the people and property of the old Order lived on and served in a different capacity, in a different place, after this was allowed by a papal bull ( _Ad ea ex quibus_ ). Those who remained were "absorbed" into the new order and retained their capacity and position as Knights.
There are several Templar military buildings, churches, temples and chapels in Portugal which have remained attached to the principles and duties of the Templar Order, and its symbol, the red cross on the white background, was featured on the sails of the ships that braved the oceans in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Order survives to this day, and it has a Grand-Master: he (or she) is the person in the position of President of the Portuguese Republic.
One of the largest and most well-preserved buildings of this age is the Convent of Christ in the Portuguese city of Tomar, quite famous for its connections to the Order of the Temple.
They might as well be a whole different group because they aren’t at all like the originals
@@KristinkaAranova I'm sure they never killed every Templar - or their faithful underlings. I wonder what happened to them? And I bet their sons will have tried to emulate them.
@Svetlana Kuznetkova
I doubt there's many groups that still exist in the same capacity as they did in 1319 lol
Royal and Religious thiefs murdering innocent people WHAT A SURPRISE!
Knights Templar were brutal and into rape. Templar Knights is a myth laden mirage. They were an early form of colonialism.
Your video's are always so interesting. I wish I had you as a history teacher! Thanks for the effort!
Agreed!
Same dude this guy would be amazing as history teacher, would be my favourite for sure (:
What, you can't read a book?
Right? I wish they had more longer videos like the Black Plague one, that is a fantastic video.
My history teacher was awesome.
did I somehow miss the "day in the life" portion?
Fast becoming a favourite channel of mine. it is refreshing to see a channel offer a new aspect of history filled with entertaining and factual information
There should be a channel like this related to every historical era. Gimme dem pirates.
This channel is seriously a gem. You deserve alot more subscribers!
Warrior Monks! Love these stories.
MONKE! MONKE! MONKE!!!!
Only VR/GT geeks and those with children who are VR/GT geeks will understand this outburst 😏✌🏻
Me: oh! Marvelous , a new video.
Also me: we work in the dark tO SERVE THE LIGHT
Great video! Thank you for your hard work.
I love this channel so much, always so interesting, and excellent delivery!!
Love your consistency!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ahhh I was waiting for a crusaders video thank u so much
i enjoy the educational aspect of your videos but not gonna lie i mostly use them to fall asleep. something about your voice, the subject matter, and background music is like a lullaby to me
Love your channel, bud!
Templars were exempt here in Aberdeenshire Scotland as at that time we were as a country excommunicated lol they had a sizeable piece of land right here near me at a place called Maryculter Aberdeen. Fascinating place Romes 9th legion went missing just round the corner 45 miles allegedly by the Picts.
You work is greatly appreciatable!
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
This is a great channel, can’t believe I haven’t found it before
Finally here early, and perfect timing for Lunch.

@@pedrollex3308 was eating chili cheese hotdogs with frys. Lol late response ik 😅
A vow of poverty explains why they were all so wealthy...
right... XD
Love your channel! Keep up the great work!
I look forwards to all of your videos releasing
Great vid as usual
Tops as usual. Love u guys
great channel.
It's not that the Templars simply 'Beleived' it to be true - but the Al-Aqsa Mosque is in Fact located on the Temple Mount, the site of Solomon's Temple.
You mean the dome of the rock the building pictured is always misinterpreted the Aqsa is not the Dome of the Rock.
Love your channel mate, this subject has always fascinated me.
Much love from a fellow Englander 🏴💋✌🏻
Blimey, all of that happened in a single day?
lololol
My dad was a knights templar.. great memories!
Was it before or after his vow of chastity?
@@Poodleinacan oh.. he was one of the fellas that spit on the cross. Money lenders don't worry too much about _vows_ .
What is his name?
@@chrism9493 His name was Adam Brion. May Saint Bernard petition god to rest his soul.
@@biggestfan. wow, you are very old!
Side Note, pope Clemnt V HAD to relent : he had been elected thanks to intervention of Philip the Fair, after the latter had culminated a feux with his predecessor Boniface VIII by an assault and insults that seem to have precipitated Boniface's death, the Italians were so incensed at this that the French pope had to flee Rome and settle in Avignon, right in the French king's influence area... basically, he was a pupper pope.
Perhaps the inspiration for Order 66 in SW
That title is misleading AF... there isnt a single description of the potential daily activities of a Templar knight.
You're right what could go wrong???
Temptations of the dark. What could they mean 🤔?
Vagina dentata, probably.
in hopes of keeping them from buggering each other... too late i'd say
@@robertlock5501 very sexy sounding.
What is the orchestra music at the beginning?
I love the Knights Templar 🇬🇧
The alexa cameo was great
Under such things as fire torture, no wonder they "admitted" to crazy claims.
Philippe IV also massacred the Cathares... It would be great to do a video onthere horrific end as they are not as well known as the templiers... thank you
Excellent theme about Templars. 👍🏻
I really really love these lil documentaries about life in these times!!! So I have started to slowly buy n collect gold. I started at 1 gram about 3 months ago. Now have 8 grams gold and 1 ounce silver with two lil extra bars one 5gram one 10gram. So one and a half ounces of silver and only 8 grams gold. What would this be worth in these times please? Can I buy a loaf of bread or a house? Maybe a horse? It would be super cool to know please mate
Lol cor blimey it’s getting hard to do this on all your vids mate please reply 😂
Please can you reference the introduction music
Im surprised they could already retreat when being outnumbered 3 to one since that seems to be the number where an Attacker will have a Chance in battle for centuries now
So did some of the templars escape escape to Northwest Scotland before Friday 13th … and then fight for Bruce against Edward .. … ?
I feel that most people from that period and not just are roasting at the moment
Wholesome content.
Worshipping cats is cool
❤️👍
"WORSHIPPING CATS" is a mistranslation.
They actually said
"if it wasn't for this stupid vow I'd love some pvssy"
lmfao.........!!!!!!!! XDDD
Regarding the daily routine, did they have a dedicated time for training (fighting etc.)?
Noice
How much in donations I can drop to have a 20-30 minute video? 12-15 minutes is good but I work at night and would love a 30 mins vid. Id be more than happy to make a donation.
It was NOT a day in life,just the history off,and yes it matters
9:48 - The French always were fond of cooking with butter.
"Add Extra Panda" is a bull China needs to follow more often, especially its poachers... :P
Times were tough in times of yore.
Tried to send you a super thanks…where is it?
It was Baybars and the Mamluks who drove the crusaders out of the Holy Land - not Saladin. Saladin had been dead for a century by the time the Templars were arrested.
Love your content...but just so you know, Jacques De Molay is pronounced de mo LAY, not de MO lay.
Is temptation of the dark what i think it is ?😅😅
Really enjoy (is that bad?) your videos, I just hope you don't encounter nightmares along the way.
The only templar stuff I agree with is the cool flag and no pointy shoes
Shoulda named themselves the Knight's Bankers.
So, when they aren't fighting, they are praying and living like a monk. This doesn't make sense. If they don't spend any time training, they can hardly be called an elite warrior.
Sounds like except for a little action once in a while , life would have been pretty boring. But then a life following the word of God is just that.
You had it right until 10:05. I know these things, I'm a Sr. DeMolay.
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 you were there you know this? I am an Anderson and I don't know what my ancestors did or thought 800 years ago I know who they were but I would never claim to know them like you do. You don't even know the things in full your own father did never mind your great great great great great grandad.
@@sanderson9338 Well Sir, it is a matter of written record.
@@johncline3033 sources please and then explain how you establish your direct lineage to that family member. Oh wait you can't do that. The fighters under Wallace are not recorded bar a few and to claim lineage is laughable. I'm a Scot and I can't do that never mind you yanks lol.
@@sanderson9338 Here, let me help you out. First, I didn't say I was related to anyone. What I said was I am a Sr. DeMolay. Look up what that is. 2nd like I said, it's a matter of record, look it up. Do your homework.
@@johncline3033 you are a modern day Knights Templar larper that claims to know what happened 700 years ago because your foundation founded in 1900s told you so 🙄. You weren't there you don't know. The uploader has stated recorded facts.
One of the pictures depicting the execution of the knights showed them wearing black with a white cross - 09:58. This was how the order of Hospitalers dressed. A mistake ? Or did they dress differently. God forbid they burned Hospitalers by mistake?
What's the difference between the knights and hospitalers?
The Hospitalers were a Benedictine order and later owned Rhodes then Malta and have been around as a military order from 1098 until the Napoleonic age. Famous for Hospitals in the medieval age. The Templars died out as a military order as shown in video and were also famous for the origins of Banking. Hospitalers were known for wearing black with white maltese cross then later Red. And Templars white with red cross. Also the Templars were from a Cistercian order which is why they wear white.
I love European history.
Ohhhh who cares what you love
@@dearbrad1996 You care enough to comment :)
@@ItsLunaRegina I get angered by stupid comments, that is why I replied. Now tell me who cares about you or anything you or people like you think. Be honest and admit that you are not the special person you think you are
@@dearbrad1996 Shut up dude... what a freaking weirdo
I love it too man :D Our history is the best for sure!
Some of the art you used looks modern. You should list them as a source, or at least do so next time.
Templars had short hair right?
First.
Spit that game mike
2nd
The templar are coming back up again we are still around but we have nothing to do with the masons
....i don't how you protect pilgrims with 9 original knights...
Why are all the people in paintings in the Middle Ages cross eyed 😮
To have an artist paint your picture you had to have money. Most with money slept with their family members so they didn't have to share the wealth with outsiders creating incestuous offspring. 🤮
Add extra pandas!
"Coming from all of Europe" can be deceiving. Although there were many nationalities involved, the vast majority of Knights Templar were French.
Deus Vult!
Steve Holt!
@@NinjaGrrrl7734 lol... :D
Nothing like the fear of God. And the wheels go round and round 🤬
They just got too powerful so they had to take them down.
You got to love the Catholic church.
Many pill. Grims. U ok mate
Nobody kills people with more enthusiasm, glee, and self-righteousness than a religious fanatic.
You are absolutely right! 😂
A fanatic in general does, wether it be religious or political. They are easy to manipulate by powerful people as they don‘t question their reasons. Therefore they prefere to put ideologies into the minds of the people, it has happened as long as big civilisations have existed.
Yup even their own religious fanatics lol
And Islam is still at it daily!
@@KristinkaAranova Yes, indeed! And if they keep it up for a few hundred more years they may eclipse the record of slaughter amassed by Christian fanatics over the past two thousand years.
The 12 minutes has nothing with "a day in the night of the knights" . It ia short hystory of th eTemplars
leave it to a medieval pope to make adding extra pandas a bad thing 👀
Special forces of Jesus Christ.I'm in.Police can go home
But if God is all seeing/knowing/powerful, why does he need an army to fight for him?
One man's god is another man's devil.... who do you suppose they were really serving?
@@shinrapresident7010 Lmfao.......!!! Says who, you? You're some random wanker from dzhewtube
@@shinrapresident7010 Lol...... lol........ I don't recall making such a claim. Anyway, I'm a physicist, since you wanna throw around credentials. Now kindly mr. "biologist" kindly piss off.
@@shinrapresident7010 Or just don't chime in if you're too smoothbrained to recognize a rhetorical question ;)
@@shinrapresident7010 Science and religion don't even exist on the same plain. Neither one can prove or disprove the other.
Alexa 😂😂😂
Deus Vult
oy to da vey
Pope “innocent” lol
Wait till you hear what Pope "Innocent" the 3rd did.
Haha
Worshipping cats? I pictured a fancy Romanesque church where all the imagery has cats instead of Jesus and saints lol
Yes, they started out as Roman Catholic spies which began gaining many scrolls of Scripture before the Bible was completed. This affected their understanding of God and placed them in conflict with Roman church and Pope. All claiming to be of the original group today have no documents or archaeological facts to back up their claims. When one becomes a 33 degree Scottish Rite Fre-Mason he is given the title; "Knights Templar", so in that sense my great grandfather and some others in my family would hold to that claim. I am a Christian Presbyter of the Ancient Antiochene Church and I give lectures and teach online.
🤣
DEUS VULT!
I don't think any of these kings or the pope actually believed in God, for them it's just a tool to gain power and wealth, if they believed in hell, they surely would know that falsely accusing and burning the templars would actually be a blasphemy. and they would deserve the deepest hole in hell for this travesty.
🤣😂🤣😂
So freaky manipulation thru superstition it happens over and over again
Damn the Catholic church were Evil
