The Knights Templar

The Knights Templar is probably the most famous western Christian military group, also known as the Christian warrior and the temple of Solomon (history). In the early Middle Ages, the popularity of this group lasted about 2 centuries. It is also known as Dark Age. The group was founded by Hugh de Payens in 1118, after which he will be the first master of the Knights Templar. The reason they were best recognized was that they were wearing robes and red crosses, even though Pope Eugene III did not give groups until 1147.

Knights Templar - The Templar Order was founded in the 11th century. They wore a red cross in white cloak and became a famous warrior during the Crusades. Their headquarters is in the Araxa Mosque on the hill of the temple in Jerusalem. The Order refused to retreat in the fight and often led the claim first. In Mongisard 's battle, 500 Templar' s teams led only thousands of small troops and defeated 26,000 Muslim soldiers. Knight Hospital - Knight Hospital was founded in 1023. They were founded to protect the poor and sick pilgrims of the sacred place. During the crusaders, they protected the Muslim sanctuary. These knights wore black clothes and white crosses. After the collapse of Jerusalem, they moved to Rhodes and Malta.

The Knights of Temples known as the Knights of Temples, the poor Knight of Christ, the members of the Temple of Solomon established the Order of Religious Army during the Crusade and inspired to serve as a model for other military headquarters. This order was originally created to protect Christian pilgrims from sacred sites, and in the 12th century took on greater military responsibility. However, its excellence and increased wealth have evoked opposition from competitors. As being criticized as crusader's failure in the sacred place, that order was destroyed by King Philippe 4 of France

At the beginning of the 13th century, the Crusader Castle was built by military orders such as the Order of the Order, the Knights of Templar, and the Order of the German. These orders are responsible for the establishment of bases like such as Crac de Chevalier, Margat and Belvoir. Concentric defenses established at this time are common, but the design will change not only between orders but also between castles. This concept was born out of a castle such as Krak des Chevaliers designed to eliminate reliance on core strengths and emphasize curtain wall defense. The fire site is not completely visible as the ring of defense walls is inside the other ring and the inner ring rises from the outside. If an attacker crosses the first line of defense, they must enter the killing zone between the inner wall and the outer wall and attack the second line of defense.
