Knight Templar Cape W1516C Marto

At the Council of Troyes in 1128, the Order of the Temple was recognised by Pope Honorius II. The Knights were given the white vestment as a symbol of the purity of their life, to which Pope Eugene added the red cross in 1146. King Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, installed the Order in an area of ​​the palace in Jerusalem believed to be the Temple of Solomon, from which they took the name of the Knights Templar or Templars. The battle of the Orders to defend the Holy Land is already legendary, just as the loss of their accumulated wealth is still a mystery.
