The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon also known as the Knights Templar was one of the wealthiest Western Christian Military orders that were founded way back in 1118. Historians believe that the order was disbanded close to 700 years ago but many still believe that some form of it is still in existence today.
