“THE TEMPLAR KNIGHTS – THE KNIGHTS OF THE CROSS”

Autor: Radomir Milojevid, Mentor: Mirjana Tomovid

Abstact

After the Crusaders freed Jerusalem in 1099 most of the wariors who fought on the saviours side
returned to their homes. But a small number of knights that couldn’t go back to their old lives returned
to Jerusalem in 1118, and decided to stay and protect the Holy Land and the pilgrims who were coming
to Jerusalem. Nine knights formed a holy alliance (or a brotherhood) in arms and vowed to aid one
another in clearing the highways through Palestine of dangers, and in protecting the pilgrims through the
passes and mountains on the route to the Holy City of Jerusalem.

The story you are about to read follows the progress of that broterhood through centuries: their
begining, their growth, and their tragic „end“.

Key words: begining, growth, downfall, Templars today, legends
