Abstract

This paper deals with the Templar order, founded to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land, where
it left his mark in the Crusades, in order to be abolished in the 14th century under mysterious
circumstances, which led to various subsequent mysteries about his work. Seemingly an ordinary
religious order, which was characterized with humility, obedience and knightly diligence and left a
mark until today, causing much controversy. All mysteries, which have occurred resulting from
charges that were addressed to the order and mysterious circumstances and ignorance, has led to
the emergence of the real mysteries that still attract the attention of many people. Thus, this paper
aims to show the history of the order and events that marked him, including the circumstances of its
abolition.
