The Knights Templar were an order of chivalry that defended the sacred places of the Holy Land and protected Christian pilgrims from danger. They became the richest and most powerful military and religious order of their time. The Templars owed obedience only to the Pope and controlled much of Europe's wealth for years. Their name became associated with unimaginable riches, lost treasures and the possession of sacred relics, such as the chalice that Jesus used at the Last Supper, the Holy Grail. They were accused of worshiping the devil and ended up being extinct, but they resurfaced in Portugal years later and their technology made all the difference in the nation's maritime expansion.
