The '''Knights Templar''' were a military-religious order, founded in 1118, who served valiantly during the Crusades. When they were not on the battlefield, this “militia of Christ,” as they were called, lived a disciplined monastic life and took the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience—the same vows that beloved [[Saint Francis]] took. | The '''Knights Templar''' were a military-religious order, founded in 1118, who served valiantly during the Crusades.
