The Templar Order was established in 1118 to ensure the custody of the Holy places and to protect the pilgrimage routes. The Templar Order reached it's maximum splendour in the 13th century. The knights Templar considered themselves as knights of God, protectors of the church and christianity. Their motto was:"NON NOBIS, DOMINE, NON NOBIS, SED TUO NOMINI DA GLORIAM". "Give Glory, not for us, God, not for us, but for your name". The Templar Knights fought along side King Richard I (Richard The Lion Hearted) and other Crusaders in the battles for the Holy Lands. The Templars were a very well organized military force and they were the clash forces in all the Crusades. The Templar Knights were in the vanguard during the attacks and in the rearguard during the retreats. During one century they ensured the effective government of the latin kingdom of Constantinople. The Templar Knights did not pay taxes or tributes, obeyed only the Pope and they had properties in all of Europe and the Middle East. These are high quality products made in Toledo Spain which you can proudly display with honor.
