The University
One of the problems of the neo Templar organization is the formal training of its
members, which is why in many cases, there is no formative curriculum or better yet,
such formation is non existent.
The Sovereign Brotherhood of Dames and Knights of the Temple, conscious of
said reality, has taken a step forward and it proposes the creation of a University of
Templar formation, where three paths of knowledge merge:
1.- Training in knighthood which implies knowledge of the Middle Ages, history
of the Order of the Temple and the history of the Crusades.
2.- Training in religious knowledge, which implies a knowledge of Christianity, a
knowledge of the parables of Jesus, a knowledge of the historic Jesus and knowledge
of the canonical and apocryphal gospels.
3.- Training in initiatory knowledge, which involves a personal transformation of
the individual, seeking and finding the inner Christ.
And lastly, we wish to point out that these courses will be on line, for most
of the subjects, and that the facilitators will not be solely from the ranks of the
Brotherhood, but will all be specialists in their fields, be they Templars or not.

THE RULES
1. Nablus, the Canon Rule of St. Augustine, or Latin
Rule that will never leave the Order.
2. Council of Troyes, the cleric Jean,Michel by
concession of Bernard de Fontaine, now already
know as of Bernard de Clairvaux, transcribes the
Latin Rule to which they add some weight to certain
articles, relative to the militia Fland religious services, it
is known as the Primitive Rule.
3. Etienne de La Ferte, also known as de Chartres,
was Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1128 until his death
in 1130. After the Troyes modifications he receives
the rules to which he adds 24 articles and will revise
at least a dozen. It is he who reserves the white mantle
There are no others. and nothing more, it is just a normal adaptation to the reality of an institution, something
as normal then as now. Today we would refer to it as
getting in step.
Very well, to embellish the aforementioned, we shall see
that what was created in Nablus is not the Order, but a
congregation of regular canons coming from a Brotherhood.
They swear to the three temporal monastic vows of poverty, obedience and chastity, agreeing to follow these is
to profess and the one that does so ceases to be a novice
and becomes a profeso (28).
One adopts the Augustinian rule of the canons (29) of
the Holy Sepulcher, granted by the Patriarch until its final
approval by the Pope and they are granted the waging of
war with no quarter against the infidel, as a fourth vow
sworn by the Templars.
Matthew of Albano receives them as a canonical congregation (34) and elevates them to a Monastic Order.
WHO CREATED IT
The first history of the Brotherhood is known as the
time that occurs between the Synod of Nablus until
the Council of Troyes, where the Order is definitely
created, but...what about before? Before this period
that covers from 1104 through 1120...what occurs
during this period?
This prehistory is the dark era of these knights. How did
they support themselves?, as we shall see they had more
than ample support, powerful support such as no other
group of this sort ever countedon, not even the Deacon
of St. John Hospitalier, to take off with such self assured
success.
They had economic power, they had hosts, they
had lawul cover, later would come donations that
miraculously multiply upon being accepted at Troyes,
their logistics and marketing worked marvelously.
Their provenance was made up of members of royalty
and from the different noble houses of the Franks,
Burgundians, Normans. etc,. made the rest an easy
passage of alliance with the highest spheres of the church,
perhaps as Mellado says about its early ambition having
no measure, perhaps it was not all bucolic and romantic
as it has passed on in the annals of its first history,
It is a natural understanding that prior to this time there was already a formation in testing since previous
years, how many? not known, but logic prevails and
we must yield and honor the closest hypothesis based
on archival documents that were consulted. If my conjectures are correct (and there is no authentic proof to
think that they are not possible) we could be talking,
not of the nine years of its existence until Nablus.
If we count 1104 as the year of its conception until
1114 when it is already constituted and is put into
practice upon the arrival of the Hughs, in that year,
until 1120, when itiis officially recognized at Nablus.
Some 16 years had transpired that would en compass
the novitiate, the temporal acknow ledgment; the
creation of the Brotherhood or congregation in the
aforementioned Synod.
It can be stratified in six different periods.
1. Ideological and embryonic phase from 1104 until
1107, in which the creation of a police force is perceived as necessary. Creative steps are taken that leave

2, Formation of the Militia Christi phase, incorporating same with knights related to the conquerors that
take Palestine as the new promised land, there where the mister nobodys can become someone, forcing
that social stratification (35).
In the long run, the church had served on not few
occasions as a means of social climbing.
3. Phase of activation with the presence of the Hughs
from 1114 to 1120, where their relationship would
be without rules,habits, monastic vows, no dependency on military or ecclesiastical authorities, bound
only by the particular and personal oath of each of its
members.
Here we may apply from William of Tyre who wrote the knights wore secular garb, they wore clothing
such as all folk wear...

ABSTRACT
The following article is protected by copyright and its
use is only authorized by express permission of its author,
who will grant it in writing from those who request it.
It corresponds with the post that I offered on 14 December of 2013, during the Templar Journeys of Andalucia,
presented by the A. I. T., (International Templar Association), in the always beautiful city of Seville. I would like
to present it in its entirety at the request of several listeners, some of whom are quite interested, by the apparent novelty it seems to have.
Naturally this work is a summary of chapter IV of the
book of the same title that is in its creative phase and that
I expect will soon be available to the public.
