@@zorlockthewarlock5961 The Order of Assassins did exist. The word "assassin" is actually derived from their name, Asāsiyyūn. The members of the order followed the Shia faith.
Hospitallers in my eyes were the original “ Christian Crusaders “ all around the Baltic and Mediterranean territories started off from that mission . It’s all so fascinating

The Hospitallers were originally the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Est. 900's. They were funded by Italian merchants, their cross was from Amalfi in Italy. They did provide medical services but also ran hostels in Jerusalem for pilgrims.
There were actually five major catholic military orders, you left out the most important, the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre which were first with the Hospitallers, then the Knights of Saint Lazarus. The origins of the Order of Knights are clouded by conflicting traditional tales, and subject to some historical controversy, but it is rather well established that its beginnings as a true Order came after Godfrey of Bouillon captured Jerusalem in 1099, during the First Crusade.There are also those who trace the Order back another six centuries to the time of St. Helena when, in 451, the Bishopric of Jerusalem was made a Patriarchate. Others believe the Knights originated in the year 81 when Pope Anaclet is said to have assigned protection of the Tomb to a confraternity of hermits. In any case, the Order was, in the words of the eminent scholar, Guido A. Quarti, “…the cradle from which all other religious military Orders in the Holy Land developed…”
I am a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre and we have always been a part of the Catholic church, I can tell you it is not an "basically" honorific title. We are all military.
Jacob King there is nothing military now about the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre (the proper name is “The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem”). We are Catholic, founded in 1099, and we support Christians in the Holy Land and pray for them. There are 4 ranks, but beyond that there is nothing “military” about the Order.
The Teutonic Knights are my favorite Crusading monastic order. Mostly because the Northern Crusades are so unknown to the average person in comparison to the Crusades in the Levant, the Iberian Peninsula, and even the Mediterranean. And unlike the other Crusades, which were against Saracen Muslims, the Northern Crusades were against the last vestige of North European paganism. So to imagine what the Northern Crusades would look like, imagine classical Crusader soldiers and knights going up against pagan Viking warriors in the forested regions of the Baltic!
Teutonic Knights and their Northern Crusade are stains on the good name of Crusaders. While in the beginning they were fighting against pagan Prussians they quickly became the victims of their own success. After running out of pagans to conquer they turned against their Catholic neighbours Poland and newly christened Lithuania and they kept fighting them for two centuries, at the same time claiming they were defending Christianity from some imagined pagan invaders. After being decisively defeated by Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth they converted to Lutheran heresy. What an embarrassing end to former defenders of Catholic faith...
Milo Bem Lutheran Heresy? Martin Luther spoke against the corruption and sin of the Pope's actions and the degeneration of the Church. His oats were also rather pissed on when people began over throwing and sacking churches
Let's not forget about the Teutonic Knights crusade against the Orthodox Rus. Latin Christians crusading against Orthodox Christian Slavs. That had absolutely nothing to do with converting Baltic pagans.
I have many relatives in the order of st John . IT IS THOUGHT. That one of my distant ancestor maybe more was weapons master smith for the Teutonic order in its early times.
Hospitallers were also medically trained to take care of wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Like you know this WW2 film, the soldiers with medic signs on there helmet that medically trained. They were those class of Knights during that era. Very well needed - that’s why they are my favourite.
Thank you so much for this informative and educational history on the Templars. I iust recently got into this part of the history and i found other documentaries are so difficult to understand. Yours explains everything so well and in a more simple and straight forward approach! Truly appreciated!
The hospitallers still exist in their fractured form in germany as Johanniter and Malteser. They operate ambulances, train EMTs and provide first aid courses to the public.
I read in the book Kights of Christ that they submitted 7 knights including their grtandmaster to the Crusades and they were all killed. They wore a red cross on a black background similar to others mentioned.
1:19 the best translators of the age were often the military men who had been all around Europe and the Middle East. So the Hospitallers definitely had knights from the start. But likely a fusion of the priest doctors and their military escorts.
3:38 so you don’t think these guys were digging tunnels and building giant castles? Or… The Templars were military engineers, brother. Templar architecture is some of the finest examples of Norman Architecture. 4:14 and the Templars built the strongholds and navies of Spain and Portugal. Henry the Navigator? Knights Templar. Technically Military Order of Jesus Christ. But that’s the refounding name of the Portuguese Templars. But he became the Grand Master. So hardly just some exclusively warrior order.
4:50 absolutely, but they always had some small contingent with the orders in the Holyland. Usually just a few, but they were pretty legendary for their size, so having an Ajax type or two always helps infantry strength. Up north they were mounted knights, but they would often lead infantry units in the Holyland. That’s why I don’t discount those horns being real, they make an excellent sight for the infantry, that’s why the Centurians always wore crests. Plus it made them even more intimidating. I know we think that look was just ceremonial for tournaments, but i don’t fully discount the notion that some of them had some sort of helmet decoration in a similar style.
@@RealCrusadesHistory Did the Jews fight during the Crusades. I've always wondered did Jews fight along side the Christians in the Crusades. Were the Jews involved in the Crusades.

Although their rank is that of the most junior Cardinal, the Grand Master does not participate in any conclaves to elect the Pope. They still maintain their original role of providing medical aid to the poor and respond to natural disasters around the world. They also have a group that serves as part of the Italian Armed Forces, although it does not serve a military role. The Teutonic Knights still exist as a religious order under St. Mary, which was how the Teutonic Knights were originally formed. They no longer have a military role.
Funny that the very same year Colon reached America, and starts a most important chapter of the history of all countries of the continent, also marks the end of the most important role the military orders had in Spain, Las Ordenes Militares still exist today but since 1492 and the Conquest of Granada they have been mostly a symbolic thing linked to the Kings of Spain. One of the particular ways that show how that year is the moment when one long era ended.
My ancestor was a Basque Knight named Sancho "por Lobos" Artero who was given the title de Muzquiz by King Indigo ' El Fuerte" and made him Captain of his guard in the year 1212.
Glad to see the channel is growing dude been subbed for a couple years I love that there's so much crusades content you can catch us up on keep up the good work
It's really easy to differentiate them: Templar = white clothes, white cloak, red cross Hospitaller = black clothes, black cloak, white cross Teutonic = white clothes, white cloak, black cross
@@rumuelnathanael8043 there was variation betweent the ranks with in the orders with their uniform. They had to be wealthy to be knights as the armour was extremely expensive for the knight and horse . They had to be able to supple two horses and care and support a squire who became an associate member and so on.
Not quite Both the Hospitallers and the Templars were onky had Knights that would fight, so they'd be on par with the Templars since the Templars only had Knights in their order who were trained from birth The Teutonic order on the other hand was a full blown army with Archer units, infantry and cavalry while the Templars only had heavy cavalry and the Hospitallers mainly had infantry

THANKS MUCH, THE Last knight Templar was burned at the stake in 1313 by the then French King, with the support of the then POPE, from the fire while being burn to death, now Saint J. Molay, called on the Pope and king to join him at the right hand of God for judgment at their transgressions against Christ. The king and Pope, both died with in the year.
Wow I literally thought "mmh I wonder what the differences are between the 3 factions" I googled it, and lo and behold the exact thing I was looking for was in this video. Cheers!
It's also cool to look at the coat of Arms in some places in Europe that came from the first Crusade like Godfrey's path he took and where he came from and what country today flags the Cross of LORRAINE...and maps of Strongholds in the 1100s..in my town named after my family in 1128 and still named was a Stronghold and a Church was built there after Godfrey's pass..In castle Country...which by looking at a map shows how easy it was from most the Templars to get gold and men at sea with help of the Hospitaller's Which stayed intact after 1307 and help from the Teutonic Knights to carry the most prized item all the way to Westford and beyond..and it wasn't the grail..it has sat at the port of the grail for hundreds of years at Portugal which means just that the port of the Grail...I'm lucky I have the world's expert on thises brain to pick..
That most likely a myth If they did fight there they wouldn't fight as templar Knights but as allies of the Scots since the templars were being rounded up arrested and the organization was being dissolved
There is so much to this subject from what I see from the comments below, a little bewildering for a (newbie) pardon the Pun, but I get the strong feeling this is such an important part to our history, that should never be forgotton.
I'm from Latvia and Germans became a ruling class of Latvian and Estonian territory for like 700 years, Germans named Livonia and even today there is kinda a lot of latvians with German last names.
Last Templar Grand Master Was The French Master Jacques De Molay. Known as the "Tragedy Of Jacques De Molay" Molay Got Burned Alive In The Eyes Of King Philip Of France Himself "Philip The Fair" in 1317 Please Correct Me If I'm Wrong Guys,it'll be much appreciated!! 😃
I was with my brother waiting for the tour boat that would take us on the Seine. We were stationed by a bridge. I looked up, and there, carved in well worn stone, was the name "Jacques De Molay" and a simple phrase indicating this spot was where he was burned. It sent a shiver through me.
For quite some time, Knights Templar had been way too close to the French king and to his complice, the pope, to be an attractive option to join for most noblemen and knights from Central Europe. The betrayal of French king and pope against Knights Templar is even worse regarding this background. Sort of spiritual high treason.
I might have gone into the banking system that developed from the Templars' network and holdings in Europe. Their vast wealth may have been their undoing at the hands of Philip the Fair. We need their kind today.
This was a very interesting discussion. You obviously have a lot of knowledge on-hand about mendicant military orders. A little editing would go along a long way to make your points clearer. That said, thank you for your overview, I enjoyed it immensely.
Hmm. Templars accepting a Teutonic Knight who had been expelled. Reminds me when the USAF accepted several cadets who were expelled from West Point for violating honor code. One of whom became a general I believe.
I'd like to ask you if it is at all possible to do something about Scottish participation in the Crusades. I have seen crusader tombs in the Hebrides and I have read something of the presence of Templar knights and Hospitalers in Scotland. I think the ones who had the longest presence were the Hospitalers. But I've found it exceedingly difficult to find information. Most information is about England but in this time Scotland was an independent Kingdom. The other thing that is notable is the existence of heraldic symbols in some of the Scottish coats of arms that signal to participation in the crusades like the ships that I've read are a signal that ships were donated for the crusades. But the information I've found is scarce and confusing. Would really appreciate if you could do something on this.
Templar fled to Scotland after they were deemed heretics because Robert the Bruce was excommunicated by the Pope so they were safe there. It is sead they fought for Robert in the final battle that won Scotland their indipendace. Note Scotland was an English vasl up to then.
My sir name comes from the 'Battle on the Lake', against Alexander Nefsky when the Teutonic Knights were defeated when they fell thru the ICE! 'PLENN' means prisoner of war!
Just leaving a comment to say I've been really enjoying your videos and have been obsessively watching them for the past few days trying to expand my knowledge of the Crusades. If you see this comment and get a chance to respond, I have a quick question. I was wondering if all the military orders universally practiced tonsuring of the hair and growing their facial hair (to a certain extent) or if that was just the Knights Templar. I've been trying to research this myself and haven't had much success, if you would been kind enough to respond this comment, I would really appreciate it. Either way, thank you for these videos, they've been really enjoyable to watch.
Hey thanks for watching the videos! To answer your question, I believe all of them practiced tonsuring, but I'm not positive. It was essentially a universal practice among religious orders at the time.
Scandinavia was Christian too but the Baltic here refers to what is now the three Baltic States and the northern coast of Poland, all of which was pagan at the start of the 13th century.
@@nicks.carter574 Putin does a far better job defending Christians than western leaders. The West is actively working with terrorists who kill Arabic Christians simply for not being Muslims. Russia is working with a secular leader who actively defends the Christian citizens of his nation from the Islamic hordes.
Simple. Templers are temple guards (although they guard more than the temple, they guard the whole area). Hospitaliers are your bodyguard/medic for pilgrims. Teutonic knights are special force, since a lot of them are teutons almost exclusively. They go out to spread their godly message. Updating the burghers and village folks of who's in charge now. Theres a big man on the campus and his name is jesus.
John Smith The Temples, fairly quickly after being founded, protected pilgrims by looking after the transport of their money. One could go to any one of the Temper sites (they ended up with nearly a thousand) and deposit some cash in exchange for a document which could be handed in to any other Templer site for cash. Christians at the time weren't supposed to charge interest, so when it was deposited it would be deliberately miscounted and the amount in the document would be 5% less than the amount given. The Templers became very wealthy and would end up lending money to Kings, typically to fund military expeditions and some of the plundered loot would be used to repay the loan. It was an early banking system and maybe the first multinational corporation. Their wealth lead to rumours of secret hoards of gold, but at any one time most of their coin would have been lent out.
Stephen Ash They weren't a corporation. Banking doesn't automatically mean capitalism. No idea why people think anything basic within economics is automatically capitalism.
@@Petey0707 They were an organisation which operated in several counties, that's pretty much a definition of a multinational corporation (I looked it up). I made no reference whatsoever to capitalism, where a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. The Templars recieved deposits and made loans, they operated as a bank and they did so in many different countries.
So did the Teutonic Knights mainly operated in Europe? I also heard that the said knights has an alliance with the Templars, can anyone verify this? And was there a rivalry between the orders, mainly the Hospitalers and the Templars? Thanks for the vid!
The Teutonic Knights started in the holy land but then went north The templars Teutons and hospitaller all were allied and in battle fought side by side I'm not sure about rivalries but I can only imagine for some petty squabbles but nothing major
Before watching the vid first thought is: Teutonic Knights is a Germanic order engaged in actions in North and Eastern Europe Knights hospital at ran the hospital's Knights Templar ran the banks.
TTEMJYL means repairing metal goods. PPETNEUNDA means taking away from someone. Duy mean back Ap means front.Don means money or crazy. Tuitdon( the crazy money).
This video was just intended to be a quick answer to a question from a viewer. It was totally unrehearsed and totally done off the top of my head. I never thought it would get so many views.
I think all the variant orders were not static when it comes to how they were represented, as they would have evolved over the hundreds of years of their existence. So where they may have started out as almost marines it's possible due to their influence they were much like the Varangian guard, which too co-evolved with the times as their power waxed and waned.
Hospitals were not initially medical facilities. The Hospitallers were not healers. A hospital was a place where travellers, the poor, or the sick could be taken care of. This was mostly in terms of food and shelter but most people there were not sick. Hospitals only got the medical connotation they have today in the 18th and 19th centuries when large hospitals were funded specifically for medicine and doctors began going there to treat the sick and do medical research.
The Hospitallers most certainly did provide medical care. The brother knights themselves were not practitioners of medicine, but they did have individuals trained in medical care to staff take care of sick pilgrims. They also offered general hospitality like you're talking about, but they did have facilities for tending the sick. Of course, this was far simpler than the medical care a person could receive today.
I appreciate your work, but, everything is disputable bcs the main archieves are hidden and locked. Just enthusiastic ppl like you, with will and energy, creates and collects some basic, fundamental information and from time to time deeper insights in our history. Thank you, I wish you very best🤗
After the crusades, yes. They have lost their military purpose which initially was their main use. The Templars have acquired the status of combat troops very early and were the first of the orders to be used in battle, later followed parts of the St. John (Hospitallers) and the teutonics. However, the Hospitallers and Teutonics still had a larger ''medical'' component while the Templars were almost solely used as military component, in combat. After the Hospitallers were found around 1100, there was no great demand for combat orders at first, but in 1130 the threats surrounding jerusalem became bigger and bigger and thus, the Templars were found. The hospitallers did fight, but until the end of 12th. century that was limited on self defense purposes. After the Crusades were ''done'' in 1291 and jerusalem was lost, the Templars went back to france where they, to aid the christianization/ the crusaders that were left financially. They gave out loans to the teutonics, the spanish order, or, which might have brought them to an end - The french King himself.
@@hustensaftvernichter3785 no, Philippe le bel put an end to that order because at this time, 20% of French kingdom belonged to this order of jobless knights, who obeyed only to the Pope. Their status avoided them to pay taxes at a time where we were in great financial difficulty (as usual since 815 and up to know ^^" but still alive ^^). He was also in conflict with the Pope : only good reasons to get rid of them. Have you heard about the malédiction of Jacques de Molay, the last grandmaster who ended up like a match ?
I am a templar. We are bound to serve the servants of Christ. In ancient days some part of the order had economical transactions, and had a sortof infrastructure for the pilgrims,
What is the Order of Santiago and are they considered crusaders? How are & who were they compared to the Hospitalier, Templars & other well known Orders?

Can you make a video about how espionage networks were used during the crusades, and especially by the Knights Templar, if there's any historical account of that ?
Teutonic Order was founded for medical purpose in the holy land too. Later they become warriors to protect pilgrims. Fighting at Crusades in the holy land with their Christian brothers of Europe. Later they spread Christanity on the Baltic region
I was told that Teutonic knights often wrote their surname with a cross at the end (like a crucifix cross) for example “Gerhard” written as “Gerhardt.” I’ve tried to research this and cannot come up with any real evidence that supports this. Are you aware of it at all?
The Teutonic Knights conquered the east territories in Poland, Latvia, aso. Their territory is known later as Prussia. Befor ethe first world war they got the leadership of whole Germany and they won the first war in Europe against France. When we lost the first world war Prussia lost the leadership and part of their territory. After the second world war nearly every land of the Teutonic Knights were lost what they conquered for us.
The order of the Teutonic Knights is to Germany what the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon is to France - Both are "military monk" orders, the Order of the Temple was created on January 13, 1128 in France during the Council of Troyes. The Teutonic Order was born during the Third Crusade which took place from 1189 to 119 led by monks and only became a military order in 1198 in the Holy Land - The Soldier Monk Order was inspired by the military rules of the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ of the French Templars Even if the French remain the Masters and the largest military supplier and knights of the Order of the Temple in the Holy Land, it will create Orders in Spain, Italy, Portugal, England, Scotland... unlike the Teutonic Order which will remain only Germanic (German) The Order of Teutonic Knights will only make one crusade in the holy land and will be mainly used for the conquest and Christianization of the Baltic States.

And unlike the other Crusades, which were against Saracen Muslims, the Northern Crusades were against the last vestige of North European paganism. So to imagine what the Northern Crusades would look like, imagine classical Crusader soldiers and knights going up against pagan Viking warriors in the forested regions of the Baltic!
Teutonic Knights and their Northern Crusade are stains on the good name of Crusaders. While in the beginning they were fighting against pagan Prussians they quickly became the victims of their own success. After running out of pagans to conquer they turned against their Catholic neighbours Poland and newly christened Lithuania and they kept fighting them for two centuries, at the same time claiming they were defending Christianity from some imagined pagan invaders. After being decisively defeated by Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth they converted to Lutheran heresy. What an embarrassing end to former defenders of Catholic faith...
Milo Bem
Lutheran Heresy? Martin Luther spoke against the corruption and sin of the Pope's actions and the degeneration of the Church. His oats were also rather pissed on when people began over throwing and sacking churches
But still, the teutons were not really much of a faith fighters rather, they were the Holy roman emperors own holy fighting order
Let's not forget about the Teutonic Knights crusade against the Orthodox Rus. Latin Christians crusading against Orthodox Christian Slavs. That had absolutely nothing to do with converting Baltic pagans.
again, they serve the holy roman emperors will a lot even if it conflicts with their faith.
Great show...One of my relatives is in the Knights of Malta (Hospitallers) so I really enjoyed this...
I have many relatives in the order of st John . IT IS THOUGHT. That one of my distant ancestor maybe more was weapons master smith for the Teutonic order in its early times.
Good point that you mention the Templars in the Iberian peninsula (Spain). People sometimes forget that the Knights were there also.
Louis Quatorze Valencia was an important port for the Templars, if I remember correctly.
the templars were french wdym
Templars and hospitalers came to be known as “soldier monks”
You’re the only one that reads our comments and answers questions
Any other site that would do that would get my thumbs up!
Hospitallers were also medically trained to take care of wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Like you know this WW2 film, the soldiers with medic signs on there helmet that medically trained. They were those class of Knights during that era. Very well needed - that’s why they are my favourite.
thats just not true

I find the naval prowess that the Hospitallers would come into later on very interesting as well.

Thank you so much for this informative and educational history on the Templars. I iust recently got into this part of the history and i found other documentaries are so difficult to understand. Yours explains everything so well and in a more simple and straight forward approach! Truly appreciated!
The hospitallers still exist in their fractured form in germany as Johanniter and Malteser. They operate ambulances, train EMTs and provide first aid courses to the public.
And the Johanniter are Protestant too
I want to learn more about the Order of St. Thomas of Canterbury at Acre. That would be a cool podcast :)
I read in the book Kights of Christ that they submitted 7 knights including their grtandmaster to the Crusades and they were all killed. They wore a red cross on a black background similar to others mentioned.

1:19 the best translators of the age were often the military men who had been all around Europe and the Middle East. So the Hospitallers definitely had knights from the start. But likely a fusion of the priest doctors and their military escorts.
3:38 so you don’t think these guys were digging tunnels and building giant castles? Or…
The Templars were military engineers, brother.
Templar architecture is some of the finest examples of Norman Architecture.
4:14 and the Templars built the strongholds and navies of Spain and Portugal. Henry the Navigator? Knights Templar. Technically Military Order of Jesus Christ. But that’s the refounding name of the Portuguese Templars.
But he became the Grand Master. So hardly just some exclusively warrior order.
4:50 absolutely, but they always had some small contingent with the orders in the Holyland. Usually just a few, but they were pretty legendary for their size, so having an Ajax type or two always helps infantry strength.
Up north they were mounted knights, but they would often lead infantry units in the Holyland. That’s why I don’t discount those horns being real, they make an excellent sight for the infantry, that’s why the Centurians always wore crests. Plus it made them even more intimidating. I know we think that look was just ceremonial for tournaments, but i don’t fully discount the notion that some of them had some sort of helmet decoration in a similar style.
Thank you for the channel.

The Hospitallers broke after Napoleon defeated them. The Russian Tsar welcomed them, and Protestant spin offs like the St. John Ambulance Corps were developed. The original Catholic order still exists in Malta today and their Grand Master holds the equivalent rank as the most junior Cardinal and marches directly behind the lowest Cardinal in all state events for the Roman Catholic Church. Although their rank is that of the most junior Cardinal, the Grand Master does not participate in any conclaves to elect the Pope. They still maintain their original role of providing medical aid to the poor and respond to natural disasters around the world. They also have a group that serves as part of the Italian Armed Forces, although it does not serve a military role.
The Teutonic Knights still exist as a religious order under St. Mary, which was how the Teutonic Knights were originally formed. They no longer have a military role.
I'm from Colombia, but my gosh, i love this topics...
Funny that the very same year Colon reached America, and starts a most important chapter of the history of all countries of the continent, also marks the end of the most important role the military orders had in Spain, Las Ordenes Militares still exist today but since 1492 and the Conquest of Granada they have been mostly a symbolic thing linked to the Kings of Spain. One of the particular ways that show how that year is the moment when one long era ended.

Can you please provide a video showing the difference in their uniform between each faction? Thank you.
It's really easy to differentiate them:
Templar = white clothes, white cloak, red cross
Hospitaller = black clothes, black cloak, white cross
Teutonic = white clothes, white cloak, black cross
@@rumuelnathanael8043 there was variation betweent the ranks with in the orders with their uniform. They had to be wealthy to be knights as the armour was extremely expensive for the knight and horse . They had to be able to supple two horses and care and support a squire who became an associate member and so on.
Assassin's Creed brought me here☺ and i enjoy learning about these things.
Great video, also Knights Templars were a special force, trained for combat, and proffesional at its job, unlike other orders.
Not quite
Both the Hospitallers and the Templars were onky had Knights that would fight, so they'd be on par with the Templars since the Templars only had Knights in their order who were trained from birth
The Teutonic order on the other hand was a full blown army with Archer units, infantry and cavalry while the Templars only had heavy cavalry and the Hospitallers mainly had infantry
So which would you say is the best starter class? I mean Teutonic Knights seem like really good high-tier builds.
And the time has come for a new crusade.

THANKS MUCH, THE Last knight Templar was burned at the stake in 1313 by the then French King, with the support of the then POPE, from the fire while being burn to death, now Saint J. Molay, called on the Pope and king to join him at the right hand of God for judgment at their transgressions against Christ. The king and Pope, both died with in the year.
Not all Templars were killed some fled to Scotland and founded an order there!

It's also cool to look at the coat of Arms in some places in Europe that came from the first Crusade like Godfrey's path he took and where he came from and what country today flags the Cross of LORRAINE...and maps of Strongholds in the 1100s..in my town named after my family in 1128 and still named was a Stronghold and a Church was built there after Godfrey's pass..In castle Country...which by looking at a map shows how easy it was from most the Templars to get gold and men at sea with help of the Hospitaller's Which stayed intact after 1307 and help from the Teutonic Knights to carry the most prized item all the way to Westford and beyond..and it wasn't the grail..it has sat at the port of the grail for hundreds of years at Portugal which means just that the port of the Grail...I'm lucky I have the world's expert on thises brain to pick..
Templars were said to be at Bannockburn fighting for the scots
That most likely a myth
If they did fight there they wouldn't fight as templar Knights but as allies of the Scots since the templars were being rounded up arrested and the organization was being dissolved
@@blacktemplar9499 Friday the 13th ?
There is so much to this subject from what I see from the comments below, a little bewildering for a (newbie) pardon the Pun, but I get the strong feeling this is such an important part to our history, that should never be forgotton.
I'm from Latvia and Germans became a ruling class of Latvian and Estonian territory for like 700 years, Germans named Livonia and even today there is kinda a lot of latvians with German last names.
I had a cancer nurse, Tina, who was a direct descendant of King Richard The Lionhearted.
Last Templar Grand Master Was The French Master Jacques De Molay. Known as the "Tragedy Of Jacques De Molay" Molay Got Burned Alive In The Eyes Of King Philip Of France Himself "Philip The Fair" in 1317
Please Correct Me If I'm Wrong Guys,it'll be much appreciated!! 😃
You are correct.
I was with my brother waiting for the tour boat that would take us on the Seine. We were stationed by a bridge. I looked up, and there, carved in well worn stone, was the name "Jacques De Molay" and a simple phrase indicating this spot was where he was burned. It sent a shiver through me.
@@triestino80 Wow . That's a once in a lifetime thing. Your lucky . Hope you got a picture of it. I'm jealous . 🙂
Was that because of an affair he had with the kings wife or something like that?
For quite some time, Knights Templar had been way too close to the French king and to his complice, the pope, to be an attractive option to join for most noblemen and knights from Central Europe. The betrayal of French king and pope against Knights Templar is even worse regarding this background. Sort of spiritual high treason.
templar had a very difrent fighting style they was feard fighters they had so good swordsman ship that even ohter knights fear them in battle
They were mainly french, and France had the best knights of the Christian world, this is why
maxime F they weren‘t french they were german!!!!! Even his name is german!!
@D Anemon Which kingdom/government did they work for? Or work under to be precise.
I might have gone into the banking system that developed from the Templars' network and holdings in Europe. Their vast wealth may have been their undoing at the hands of Philip the Fair.
We need their kind today.
Verumnondominatus dead within the year he was along with his partner in crime the pope
@Tony Elberg Called "the Fair," I think, because he was considered to be extremely attractive.
This was a very interesting discussion. You obviously have a lot of knowledge on-hand about mendicant military orders. A little editing would go along a long way to make your points clearer. That said, thank you for your overview, I enjoyed it immensely.
Hmm. Templars accepting a Teutonic Knight who had been expelled. Reminds me when the USAF accepted several cadets who were expelled from West Point for violating honor code. One of whom became a general I believe.
I'd like to ask you if it is at all possible to do something about Scottish participation in the Crusades. I have seen crusader tombs in the Hebrides and I have read something of the presence of Templar knights and Hospitalers in Scotland. I think the ones who had the longest presence were the Hospitalers. But I've found it exceedingly difficult to find information. Most information is about England but in this time Scotland was an independent Kingdom. The other thing that is notable is the existence of heraldic symbols in some of the Scottish coats of arms that signal to participation in the crusades like the ships that I've read are a signal that ships were donated for the crusades. But the information I've found is scarce and confusing. Would really appreciate if you could do something on this.
sealthrob that grave was an Englishman.
Templar fled to Scotland after they were deemed heretics because Robert the Bruce was excommunicated by the Pope so they were safe there. It is sead they fought for Robert in the final battle that won Scotland their indipendace. Note Scotland was an English vasl up to then.
Teutonic Knights v/s Alexander Nevsky battle is also famous
My sir name comes from the 'Battle on the Lake', against Alexander Nefsky when the Teutonic Knights were defeated when they fell thru the ICE! 'PLENN' means prisoner of war!

Just leaving a comment to say I've been really enjoying your videos and have been obsessively watching them for the past few days trying to expand my knowledge of the Crusades. If you see this comment and get a chance to respond, I have a quick question. I was wondering if all the military orders universally practiced tonsuring of the hair and growing their facial hair (to a certain extent) or if that was just the Knights Templar. I've been trying to research this myself and haven't had much success, if you would been kind enough to respond this comment, I would really appreciate it. Either way, thank you for these videos, they've been really enjoyable to watch.
Hey thanks for watching the videos! To answer your question, I believe all of them practiced tonsuring, but I'm not positive. It was essentially a universal practice among religious orders at the time.
I brought a force of 1500 feudal knights playing as Denmark in Total War Medieval 2 against a force of 600 Teutonic knights and boi they destroyed me
5:06 The Baltic wasnt completely Pagan The Rus were Christian, but Russian Orthodox
Scandinavia was Christian too but the Baltic here refers to what is now the three Baltic States and the northern coast of Poland, all of which was pagan at the start of the 13th century.

I AM A TEUTONIC KNIGHT ....WE WILL SAY OUR VOW IS TO JESUS FIRST THEN TO MARY!
TEUTONIC Knights become Protestant Dont think they will fight for Mary
I think you'd find the majority of the descendants of the Teutonic Knights would find that heretical.
Simple. Templers are temple guards (although they guard more than the temple, they guard the whole area). Hospitaliers are your bodyguard/medic for pilgrims. Teutonic knights are special force, since a lot of them are teutons almost exclusively. They go out to spread their godly message. Updating the burghers and village folks of who's in charge now. Theres a big man on the campus and his name is jesus.
John Smith Wrong, wrong, & wrong. Try again after you have actually done some research.
False bro, Templar were an esoteric/occult order
John Smith The Temples, fairly quickly after being founded, protected pilgrims by looking after the transport of their money. One could go to any one of the Temper sites (they ended up with nearly a thousand) and deposit some cash in exchange for a document which could be handed in to any other Templer site for cash. Christians at the time weren't supposed to charge interest, so when it was deposited it would be deliberately miscounted and the amount in the document would be 5% less than the amount given. The Templers became very wealthy and would end up lending money to Kings, typically to fund military expeditions and some of the plundered loot would be used to repay the loan. It was an early banking system and maybe the first multinational corporation. Their wealth lead to rumours of secret hoards of gold, but at any one time most of their coin would have been lent out.
Stephen Ash They weren't a corporation. Banking doesn't automatically mean capitalism. No idea why people think anything basic within economics is automatically capitalism.
@@Petey0707 They were an organisation which operated in several counties, that's pretty much a definition of a multinational corporation (I looked it up). I made no reference whatsoever to capitalism, where a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
The Templars recieved deposits and made loans, they operated as a bank and they did so in many different countries.
Teutonic knights: They have Teutonic in their name because they have the power of teutonic plates.
I don’t know what’s worse. The pun or the spelling of “Techtonic”
I loved this brief intro the the different orders! Thank you!,
Thanks!
What about St Ann (ROMAN emperor Constantine’s mother) that went to the Holy land searching for Christ’s wooden cross and other artifacts?
Constantine's mother was called Helena
Ste Ann was the grand- mother of Christ and not the wife of Constantin.
So did the Teutonic Knights mainly operated in Europe? I also heard that the said knights has an alliance with the Templars, can anyone verify this? And was there a rivalry between the orders, mainly the Hospitalers and the Templars? Thanks for the vid!
The Teutonic Knights started in the holy land but then went north
The templars Teutons and hospitaller all were allied and in battle fought side by side
I'm not sure about rivalries but I can only imagine for some petty squabbles but nothing major
Look at the castle os Malbrok Poland
It's a brotherhood threw and threw
Templer had branches in Germany
Before watching the vid first thought is:
Teutonic Knights is a Germanic order engaged in actions in North and Eastern Europe
Knights hospital at ran the hospital's
Knights Templar ran the banks.

@@mike7652 haha nice answer. i also hope that the anglo-saxons can one day let go of their excess self-ego 😉
I think all the variant orders were not static when it comes to how they were represented, as they would have evolved over the hundreds of years of their existence. So where they may have started out as almost marines it's possible due to their influence they were much like the Varangian guard, which too co-evolved with the times as their power waxed and waned.
Hospitals were not initially medical facilities. The Hospitallers were not healers. A hospital was a place where travellers, the poor, or the sick could be taken care of. This was mostly in terms of food and shelter but most people there were not sick. Hospitals only got the medical connotation they have today in the 18th and 19th centuries when large hospitals were funded specifically for medicine and doctors began going there to treat the sick and do medical research.
The Hospitallers most certainly did provide medical care. The brother knights themselves were not practitioners of medicine, but they did have individuals trained in medical care to staff take care of sick pilgrims. They also offered general hospitality like you're talking about, but they did have facilities for tending the sick. Of course, this was far simpler than the medical care a person could receive today.
I appreciate your work, but, everything is disputable bcs the main archieves are hidden and locked. Just enthusiastic ppl like you, with will and energy, creates and collects some basic, fundamental information and from time to time deeper insights in our history. Thank you, I wish you very best🤗
The most prominent function of the templars was their banking
Weren't the Templars bankers of sort?
The came up with the first international banking system. They did so in order to let the Crusaders carry 'notes of value' rather than heavy coin!
Much much later At the End of the crusades,
After the crusades, yes. They have lost their military purpose which initially was their main use. The Templars have acquired the status of combat troops very early and were the first of the orders to be used in battle, later followed parts of the St. John (Hospitallers) and the teutonics. However, the Hospitallers and Teutonics still had a larger ''medical'' component while the Templars were almost solely used as military component, in combat. After the Hospitallers were found around 1100, there was no great demand for combat orders at first, but in 1130 the threats surrounding jerusalem became bigger and bigger and thus, the Templars were found. The hospitallers did fight, but until the end of 12th. century that was limited on self defense purposes. After the Crusades were ''done'' in 1291 and jerusalem was lost, the Templars went back to france where they, to aid the christianization/ the crusaders that were left financially. They gave out loans to the teutonics, the spanish order, or, which might have brought them to an end - The french King himself.
@@hustensaftvernichter3785 no, Philippe le bel put an end to that order because at this time, 20% of French kingdom belonged to this order of jobless knights, who obeyed only to the Pope. Their status avoided them to pay taxes at a time where we were in great financial difficulty (as usual since 815 and up to know ^^" but still alive ^^). He was also in conflict with the Pope : only good reasons to get rid of them.

What is the Order of Santiago and are they considered crusaders? How are & who were they compared to the Hospitalier, Templars & other well known Orders?
I descend from the Hospitallers and Templars via Puerto Rico and Brazil
Can you make a video about how espionage networks were used during the crusades, and especially by the Knights Templar, if there's any historical account of that ?
Your information in this video was dead on. I love the history and lore of the military orders.
They have differences but the common factor is they all carry a sword.
They carry a sword and a CROSS altogether.
Hospitallers and Templars go hand in hand, jusf different professions per se.
Teutonic Order was founded for medical purpose in the holy land too. Later they become warriors to protect pilgrims. Fighting at Crusades in the holy land with their Christian brothers of Europe. Later they spread Christanity on the Baltic region
Extremely informative, I must say. Well done!
I was told that Teutonic knights often wrote their surname with a cross at the end (like a crucifix cross) for example “Gerhard” written as “Gerhardt.”
I’ve tried to research this and cannot come up with any real evidence that supports this.
Are you aware of it at all?

How about the AOH?
The Teutonic Knights conquered the east territories in Poland, Latvia, aso. Their territory is known later as Prussia. Befor ethe first world war they got the leadership of whole Germany and they won the first war in Europe against France. When we lost the first world war Prussia lost the leadership and part of their territory. After the second world war nearly every land of the Teutonic Knights were lost what they conquered for us.
We're the knights of the round table....
The order of the Teutonic Knights is to Germany what the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon is to France - Both are "military monk" orders, the Order of the Temple was created on January 13, 1128 in France during the Council of Troyes. The Teutonic Order was born during the Third Crusade which took place from 1189 to 119 led by monks and only became a military order in 1198 in the Holy Land - The Soldier Monk Order was inspired by the military rules of the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ of the French Templars
Even if the French remain the Masters and the largest military supplier and knights of the Order of the Temple in the Holy Land, it will create Orders in Spain, Italy, Portugal, England, Scotland... unlike the Teutonic Order which will remain only Germanic (German)
The Order of Teutonic Knights will only make one crusade in the holy land and will be mainly used for the conquest and Christianization of the Baltic States.
