Knightfall
Season 1
"Knightfall" goes deep into the clandestine world of the Knights Templar, a legendary brotherhood of warrior monks. The Knights were the most powerful and mysterious military order of the Middle Ages, entrusted with protecting Christianity's most prized relic - the Holy Grail - and harboring secrets capable of great destruction.

I am a Christian, former atheist. I don't care about much in the Catholic practice when it's point was to commemorate God anyway. I got kind of carried away when Bible verses were put here, makes me wonder why people stay away from the Bible. The way to a person's heart is their mind and they must first sacrifice something in order to make a new subject. In short, just relevance and importance

I think the Jedi are based off of both Samurai and Templars, and various other monks and orders through out history, the ultimate combination if you will. One of many things based off of Templars is their commitment to celibacy, while the Samurai did not. Some Samurai even had wives.

In reality though they probably did not face each other, atleast not as intensely as in AC as the Assassins were mainly a Persian order that was basically as in the name an Assasination cult while the Templars are mostly in the Holy Land, Europe and Syria. While they may know each other and they are not rivals.

How to be a Templar: 1. Uphold the principles of our Order and all that for which we stand 2. Never share your secrets, nor divulge the true nature of our work. 3. Do so until death, whatever the cost

Funny how the American TV shows always forget about Portugal's story. The Templars "ended" in Portugal, where they ran from the pope, they became the Ordem de Cristo, and helped Portugal conquer lands and win the Muslim kingdoms. Prays the legend that the Templates treasures remain hidden in Portugal. Fun fact: Portugal means Porto du Graal (Port of the Graal)
@Thiago_Lipe

And then the Ordem de Cristo has discovered Brazil. Fun fact 2: "Porto du Graal" comes from the Latin occupation of the Iberian Peninsula and they put the name "Portus Cales" in the region of Portugal.

The history channel leaves much to be desired in terms of rigour and truth, Portugal was born at the hands of the Templars and it is in Portugal that the Templars remain protected by the "Order of Aviz" also known as the "Order of Christ".
I am not a Christian but I pray for the Knight Templars souls. They taught us that we should never fear our enemies. Be without fear in the face of your enemies...be straight and upright. That the lord may love thee ❣️❣️❣️. Amen
