Unknown Facts Regarding the Well-Known Templar Knights
Things like these were not unusual, and every pilgrim was aware of it. Hugh of Payns, a French knight, knew it. Only Hugh resolved to do something about it. He and a small band of warrior travelers formed a brotherhood and resolved to live a life of penance, poverty, and strict obedience. Unlike other knights of the day, they defended the poor and innocent. Even if it meant risking their own lives. Later, the group received official recognition as The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon. We know them as the Templars.
