Information and Significance
On January 13th, 1128, the Pope commissioned the Templars. The Templars were supposedly God's army. Knight and mercenaries from all around Europe were gathered into an order that was to fight directly under orders from the Pope for God. They were a major group that lead most of the crusades, and they took part in the sacking of Constantinople. Eventually, the Templars would grow corrupt and later another Pope would decommission them and order there members to be burned at the stake.
