The order, which existed for about two centuries in the Middle Ages was created after the First Crusade of 1096. Endorsed by the Catholic church in 1129, the order grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights were some of the best equipped, trained, and disciplined fighting units of the Crusades. When the Holy Land was lost and the Templars suffered crushing defeats, support for the Order faded. R
