The Knights Templar were founded in the early 12th century as a small group of warrior-monks. Their role was to protect Christian pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem. At the time, these journeys were dangerous and largely unprotected, and pilgrims were often robbed or killed along the route.
The Templars lived under strict religious vows and were, at least in their early years, genuinely poor.
What changed everything was how well organised they became.
