[@santibouphavong]

My father was a Knights Templar so I am very aware of their commitment 👑🙏

You must be incredibly old, then.

@@stuartwiner7920 you must be incredibly uneducated … knights Templar are the next step up for Freemasons and after that is Rose Croix. Read up on it then you won’t make such dumb comments

How’s that? Thought lived according to a code of celibacy.

@@elizabethsands4470 nice to know. Given the current times, how do we know if an organisation is genuine KT? There are so many pretenders.

Best knights are french, see du Guesclin, Bayard , jacques de lalaing

You missed a lot of is Welsh defeats and successes, WHY DOES EVERYONE IGNORE THE Welsh?

Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar 'El Cid' was the biggest knight of all.....not at fancy tournaments but real war!!

[@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo]

William Marshal fought in many battles, more importantly he never changed sides and fought his own people, he kept promises and carried the kings heart on a crusade to the holy land.

[@davidhendershot2380]

In fairness, El Cid was fired for embarrassing his king. Also in fairness, William Marshal was never a one-man zombie apocalypse. But only Marshall co-wrote the Magna Carta.

[@gabrieldiazt2956]

He actually was fired for raiding his king's client state by the orders of a Muslim ruler who hired him

[@gabrieldiazt2956]

One must separate the myth from the man. He sacked, fought for gold and betrayed his king. Not really chivalrous

[@robertfreitag7328]

Hyperbole at its best. Certainly a great knight, but also certainly not the best!
