The Order of the Templars was founded in 1119 by Hugues de Payens and eight other knights, companions of Geoffroy de Bouillon, including Geoffroy de Saint Omer and the Portuguese, Pedro Arnaldo da Rocha. The History of the Knights Templars is strongly connected to the Christian activities in the Middle East.

He took the title Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri, that is Advocate or Defender of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.When Godfried and his god fearing mother Ida, left for there crusade, he sold most of his Estates, exept the chapel of Saint Dagobert in Stenay.The kingship of Jerusalem was partly elected and partly hereditary, the King was considered, a primus inter pares, (first among equals), and in his absence his duties were performed by his seneschal.Many of the most prominent members of the Knight Templars were some of the best connected and most powerfull European aristocratic families who were of Merovingian descent.The famous Knight Templar Solomon treasure was brought to France by the Templars, were it was kept safe for many centuries.During the French revolution the French troops advanced to Orval (in Belgium) were a part of the treasure was buried. but three days before, the monks of Orval brought the treasure to Montmedy on 7 oxcarts, were it still is to this day.
