About Us

"The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. The organization existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages.

Officially endorsed by the Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favored charity throughout Christendom, and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking, and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_…
"A Templar Knight is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his soul is protected by the armor of faith, just as his body is protected by the armour of steel. He is thus doubly armed, and need fear neither demons nor men." - St. Bernard de Clairvaux, c. 1135,
De Laude Novae Militae—In Praise of the New Knighthood

Many stories and legends have been told of the Crusades and the knights who fought in those times. We uphold the historical facts of the Crusades and the orders of knights who defended Europe and Christendom, such as the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, the Order of St John, and the Teutonic Knights.

We collect art which concerns the Crusades and/or medieval topics.
