But this is often shortened to the Knights Templar. This is their symbol, two knights riding on a horse to show their poverty, but they don't stay poor for long. They are shortly thereafter recognized by the Pope, and many people start donating money to this order, and many more people volunteer to be Knights Templar, and so over the remainder of the Crusades, they become an important institution in medieval Europe. Now most folks often associate the Knights Templar with being knights. You can see here one of the knights on horseback. Here you see the knights protecting pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem, and they did do that. They did protect the pilgrims, and they were also active in battle during the Crusades thereafter.
