Studying history is like unraveling a captivating mystery, with each discovery offering a glimpse into the lives and aspirations of our ancestors. It's a journey worth taking.
Why you should never combine church and state. The Knight’s Templar did nothing wrong, but because they mixed with Church, they became enemies of the State because of a corrupt King.
Ironically we have again mixed a faith based institution with state. Money, the concept is faith based. And the fruits of a faith founded on material gain combined with state is recreating all of the corruption that that kind of power generates.
On the other hand, the Muslims mix their religion with politics and state when they gain some power, they will terrorize others forcing them to convert or flee
My respect for this field has increased tenfold. I started searching different documents that have been mentioned in this documentary and for the life of me some of them are really hard to come by. Thank you for taking the time to study all of this and share it with us.
They were first and foremost a military order. All their means, way of life supported this aim. They were each and all expected to be ready for battle and prepared to die at all times. This is what kept them strong and capable. To administrate the order, to structure their way of life, to build and manage their affairs, they adopted the organisation and methods of a monastery.
In the beginning there was wars until now. At the end we wonder when the whole world become ✌️ peaceful. Who are the ones to keep peace in this world? That's the question.
They were knights who wanted to protect pilgrims travelling to the holy land. They were bequeathed land and riches but that wasnt their intention. Popes and kings werent happy because they were so rich and decided to take it off them. They, as well as the Cathars, were accused of heresy by the catholic church, which was all powerful, greedy and corrupt. They were all arrested and tortured and executed. So much for religion 🤬🔥🏴😝
During scotlands fight for freedom,the battle of sterling bridge.English on one side and the scots on the other.English started sending night across the bridge,then the scots attacked. William Wallace and the scots almost lost the fight when about 200 nights Templar, rode into the English turning the tide in favor of the scots and was one of their biggest victories. But the Nights Templar saved the day. You don’t here about this too often.
You don't hear about it too often because it's utter nonsense. There was no Knights Templars at the battle of Stirling Bridge. Although legend has it that they did fight at Bannockburn, and this, if true, would make more sense, as they had been disbanded by then and were migrating from their spiritual home where they were being persecuted.
Never ever heard, read, or seen this in historical references! You need to check your source! I don't have a dog in this fight but history doesn't need to be muddled by misinformation!
@@andrewtraynor4960 This is a well known myth that is speculating around Scotland. In the 19th century, various orders and societies emerged in Europe, among them one called "The Order of the Knights of Templars in Scotland", whom in 1843 published a work called "A Historical Notice of the Order", which was written by these masonic templars, where they claimed that the Templars fought alongside Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in 1314. Of course this is not true at all, it is just another example of freemasons making up stories about their past, but later on this was also explained by a Scottish freemason Robert Cooper.
“Disappeared”, lmao, they went in to hiding in plain sight. After the French king moves on the Templars, more of the Templars get sanctuary within the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, see Switzerland 🇨🇭 Their flag is literally just the opposite colors of the Templars cross
Not a fact. It was simply a war flag carried on from the holy roman empire and swiss confederacy. Not in any shape or form related to the knights templar.
Historical fact: The Templars were slaughtered by both: 1. Kings of Nations (feodal monarchs) 2. The Pope (religious authority) Why did they fear and felt threatened by the Templars? What are the things the feodal and religious absolute powers feared the most from the subjects they ruled? Knowledge, science, freedom. The surviving Templars may kept themselves invisible at the same time perpetuating enlightenment and the birth of Renaissance. They may even ignited the establishments of United States of America the land of the free, where the spawn of a new civilization concept arose: democracy.
The kings owed them money, and they were jealous of their independence. The Pope liked them and the french king got tired of asking the Pope to denounce them and took actions in his own hands. When the Pope saw that they were no longer of use anymore, and he knew if he kept it up supporting them he'd anger the European monarchs especially Philip the IV. Nothing to do about 'religious fanatics' more about power and greed in the church and state.
@@electryc03 oui, perhaps the label "religious fanatics" may not be accurate, but to paint 2 absolute powers that were then foreign to the concept of independence were delivered. Albeit, a correction is in order from religious fanatics, to religious authority. Merci.
History is not true here I believe, why would they be lords of so much Feudal lands but not have enough to defend it? Was this denouncing true and given by a Head of State who participated in these carnal acts and now was betraying them. Unless it was a surprise how did they with such a mighty military not be able to fight? I am one to think these history glosses are brought to us by the illuminati disinformation campaign.
it was a way for them to get up each other without causing too much trouble. No, they might’ve did a few other things in between getting up each other, but that was their primary purpose
The charges against them included lewd rituals; they practiced sex magic to empower themselves. The historical bias that Christian dictators ruled with iron fists is not logical
Nobody seem to ask themselves why the Templars received so many donations in such a short time? What made very powerful man decide to transfer their earthly wealth to the Templars? What esoteric secrets were available to them!
Originally they came from North Africa where rich Kings paid protection money for security whilst travelling long distances. They brought that culture to the Middle East.
Wait, there was victories in second cruzade in this case Iberia, knoghts templar and other cruzaders helped iberian kings in their reconquista since Pope declared cruzaders to whom fought islam in hloy land as in Iberia in reconquista, one of the victories was the conquest of Lisbon the actual capital of Portugal, outnumbered cruzaders took the city, after several weeks of siege, and that city was very powerful as military as economic compared many times to Toledo when was conquered.
Anytime you hear people saying that they're not married church and state you can tell that it is the opposite of the truth. One of the reasons these organizations started was to unmarried church and state so that people had freedom themselves and others
they did not shift, they did it all at the same time. They were the first to create a system that was quite save to transfer money from one place to another.
It seems to me Knights phenomenon started as kings 🤴servant warriors - castle inhibiters ,they became trouble maker's in societies & they converted to templers brothers hood warriors of ( holly land - religions secrets societies)..
Established to protect the holy land, took donation, recruits soldier, prepare to protect. But during 2nd crusede, they lend money to kings who want to go to protect the Holy Land, and at the end the king need more money. Suppost the Templar lead the army and ask the king to join, and proovide king the money? That the main purpose of the templar is it?
Deposit your gold with templars, get a certificate. What if pilgrims never made it to Jerusalem to cash in certificate. Where does the gold sit. Hmmmmmm.

All history to be taken with a pinch of salt. His-story is a play on words which basically is telling us it’s been manipulated over time.
Why you should never combine church and state. The Knight’s Templar did nothing wrong, but because they mixed with Church, they became enemies of the State because of a corrupt King.
Why some of today's people don't get that, is mind boggling.

Pure nonsense. The United States of America was founded by Christians and for Christians. Its in the very first Amendment. 😂
