Seminary - Templar Rule of Order, Postulant Lesson 6

The Templar Rule of Order was a term meaning the rule book, or member handbook. It used to be available only in French, and until recently we English-speakers had a hard time finding copies for our libraries. Now, thanks to increased interest in the Templars, you can get a copy from Amazon! And it’s not even expensive. See: Templar Rule of Order You do NOT have to buy this book to complete the lesson below. We’re just including it here in case you want to dig deeper, or wish to increase your Templar library.

Please try to answer the questions below without the article above by searching around the Internet. I did a Google search as Stephen describes in his email and it did yield good results. So you’ll have to work harder for these lesson answers, but Templars often fought when the going was rough. Enemy combatants outnumbering them 3 to 1 were considered normal for Templars!
