Founded in 1118 by a group of nine knights protecting pilgrims in the Holy Land, the Knights Templar or Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon grew in to one of the wealthiest, most powerful, and famous monastic military orders of the Middle Ages. At the height of their power, they had nearly 20,000 members and controlled hundreds of castles and other properties. However, their downfall was just as spectacular when they became victims to a plot by the heavily indebted King Philip IV of France the Fair (1268-1314) at the beginning of the 14th century, whereupon the Templars were put on trial for heresy and other trumped-up crimes in 1307. In addition to the famous Chinon Parchment of 1308, the Secretum Templi II document collection features various records of interrogations and other documents relating to the trials of the #Templars on the Iberian Peninsula as well as the written absolution of the Knights Templar in Spain dating from 1312.
