Templar knights

The article went to great lengths to give examples to back there claims and the history of the order comes across as being spot on. In my opinion I would recommend this article to anyone wanting to learn about the knights Templar and believe that it is accurate based off the editors in the footnotes. it explains its points with historical evidence and goes into detail in describing things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.84.52.163 (talk) 02:44, 23 October 2015 (UTC) Patl (talk) 21:12, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Original 9 Knights Templar were archaelogists and discovered scrolls beneath the Temple Mount and the Jesus Family Tomb

This article is promoting the old propaganda of 9 knights protecting thousands of Christian pilgrims. That's a mathematical impossibility. The current understanding is that this was a front for them to excavate the Temple Mount and the Jesus Family Tomb upon the highest hill in East Talpiot. They discovered some very important concrete information that conflicted with Roman Catholic dogma. 2601:589:4700:2390:C129:9F7B:16E0:CDCC (talk) 15:58, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That stuff is mentioned in Knights Templar in popular culture. Adam Bishop (talk) 00:44, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hugues de Payens of Troyes not French...

It therein reads: "In 1119, the French knight Hugues de Payens approached King Baldwin II of Jerusalem"

Knowing how much of France (right up until 20th century) was not France, an citation is needed anent 'Hugues de Payens' said Frenchness. He at least seems not to of been born in France but in whatever the abodes (if truly born thereat) Troyes stood within.
