The Rise of the Knights Templar: Protectors of Pilgrims

In the early 12th century, a military monastic order developed in the Middle East with the express intent of protecting Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.

Despite its rather modest mission statement, over the next 200 years, this organization became one of the most powerful entities throughout the Middle East and Europe. 

However, its success and power eventually planted the seeds of its own destruction.

Learn more about the Knights Templar, their rise and spectacular fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
