Les Templiers. Une chevalerie chrétienne au Moyen âge. Beaux-arts accompanied by commentariesThe Order of the Temple is the first example of an original creation of Western medieval Christianity: the religious military order. In the 12th century, the new knight of Christ took the vows of a monk, lived by a rule, but acted within the century. For his faith, he fought, killed, and died. Created to protect pilgrims to Jerusalem, the order extended its mission to the defense of the Latin states of the East, then to Spain during the Reconquista.
