Gold-Tone 'Blood Templars' Gemstone Ring
After Christian armies in 1099 captured Jerusalem from Muslim control during the Crusades, groups of pilgrims from across Western Europe started visiting the Holy Land. Many of them, however, were robbed and killed as they crossed through Muslim-controlled territories during their journey.
Around 1118, a French knight named Hugues de Payens created a military order along with eight relatives and acquaintances, calling it the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon – later known simply as the Knights Templar.
With the support of Baldwin II, the ruler of Jerusalem, they set up headquarters on that city’s sacred Temple Mount – from which they took their name – and pledged to protect Christian visitors to Jerusalem.

The Knights Templar were a Catholic military order founded in the early 12th century. The group, also known as the Order of the Temple or the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, was created to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land during the Crusades. The Knights Templar became very wealthy and influential, and were known for their bravery in battle and their commitment to their religious vows. It is believed that the Knights Templar discovered and guarded a great deal of treasure, including gold, during their time in the Holy Land. However, the exact details of this treasure, and what happened to it, are the subject of much speculation and legend.
