The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, commonly known as the Knights Templar or the Order of the Temple, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. The organization existed for approximately two centuries in the Middle Ages. It was founded in the aftermath of the First Crusade of 1096, to ensure the safety of the many Europeans who made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem after its conquest. The Knight Templar makes a great collectors item or kids toy. The Knight Templar is very authentic to what they wore during that period of time. These figures come complete as shown (clothing, armour, weapons, swords, dagger, and shields) unless otherwise specified. The kids toys are 1/6 scale and all have moveable body parts and everything can be taken off or put back on.
