The St. James Templar Knight Cross Pendant
by Marto of Toledo Spain
The Knights Templar Order of St. James of the Sword , also known as the Knights Templar Order of Saint James of Compostela, as well as the Knights Templar Order of Santiago (Santiaguista) was born in the year 1175 in the Kingdom of Leon Spain. The Order of Santiago was a military and religious order with the original dual purpose to fight and drive back the Moors (Muslims) from the Iberian Peninsula as well as to protect the pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago on their ways to the sanctuary of Compostella.
Knights Templar Order's name comes from the patron saint of Spain, James the Greater, under whom's protection Galicians' and Asturians' Christians started to fight the Moors in Spain in the 9th century. The Order's emblem insignia, The Cross of Santiago, was depicted on the standard borne by the Knights Templar. The emblem is formed by an elaborate red cross on a golden field.
During the Reconquista, the Knights Templar of St James were one of the elite corps at the disposal of the christian kings. Following the death of the Grand Master in 1493 Alonso de Cardenas, the Catholic Monarchs joined the Order to the Crown of Spain and Pope Adrian VI joined forever Maestrazgo Santiago to the crown in 1523.
