50:50Now PlayingThe Knights Templar built one of the most powerful financial empires in medieval history — all to fund their wars in the Holy Land. From sheep farming and wool trade to running the royal treasuries of France and England, the Order of the Temple mastered wealth creation across 900 commanderies spanning Europe. Discover how Templar banker-knights invented early credit systems, managed king's fortunes in fortified tower vaults, and generated income that surpassed most monarchs. Rare 12th and 13th-century documents from the French and English national archives reveal the true scale of their economic empire for the first time. From the siege of Ascalon to the fall of Jerusalem at the Battle of Hattin — this is the untold story of the Templars' rise, riches, and decline.
