BRONZE, SILVER & PAINTED OPTIONS

The Battle of Montgisard was fought between the Kingdom of Jesusalem and the Ayyubid Sultinate on 25 November 1177 at Montgisard, in the Levant between Ramala and Yibna.
Baldwin IV of Jerusalem severely afflicted by leprosy led Christian forces against Saladin's troops in what became one of the most notable engagements of the Crusades. The Muslim Army was quickly routed and pursued for twelve miles. Saladin fled back to Cairo, reaching the city on 8 December, with only a tenth of his army.
Key Facts About the Templars
Purpose & Faith: Founded to protect Christian pilgrims from bandits/raiders in the Holy Land after the First Crusade. They were known as "monk-warriors," taking vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
Appearance: They wore a distinctive white mantle with a red cross pattée.
Banking Power: The Templars developed an early banking system, allowing pilgrims to deposit funds in Europe and withdraw them in the Holy Land.
Downfall: Motivated by debt and jealousy, King Philip IV of France arrested members in 1307. The order was formally dissolved in 1312, and the last Grand Master was executed in 1314.
