  • Source: "They say you can trace the origin of the Knights of the Eastern Calculus all the way back to the Knights Templar."

    The Knights Templar, or "Knights of the Temple" are a group that was founded in the early 12th Century. Taking a vow of poverty (in French they were known by the title "Pauvres Chevaliers du Temple" or "Poor Knights of the Temple"), they were a military order, answerable only to the Pope, who protected Christian travellers in their journey to the the Holy Land. They also played a very large role in the Crusades which were the battles for control of the Holy Land between Christians and Muslims. edit »
