The Templars formed at the end of the First Crusade as a group of knights who took monastic vows, swearing to protect pilgrims travelling from Europe to the Holy Land. While the Order began without wealth, living off donations from villagers, the Templar Knights emerged as an extremely wealthy and politically powerful organisation. Until, in 1314, Edward II dissolved the order, executed or imprisoned the Templars and ordered the burning of the last Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, at the stake.
While many of the original weapons were destroyed and or thrown into rivers following the orders of Edward II, a handful of good examples survived. Numerous photographs of the original Two Handed Templar sword are published in "The Journal of Arms and Armour Society", (Oakeshott, E. "A war sword of the XIVth Century in the Guildhall Museum").
The embellishing of the pommel, with its decorative cross, was common on Templar swords, and clearly indicates its origin. As a medieval weapon, the Two handed Templar sword is an imposing and powerful piece. Hefty, yet carefully balanced for optimum functionality, the 2.3 wide sword blade provides not only powerful cutting blows but can thrust through armor with ease.

"Both my swords arrived in good order. I already took the Templar sword through it?s paces in a few strokes and flow drills, and I must compliment you on your excellent work. The Templar sword is well-balanced and fast. I also want to thank you for your quick replies and excellent service. I will certainly order more from you in the future." ~ Mart van de Wege, the Netherlands
