It seems so curious that so many times the path in which we have already traveled from in which today surround us has come to us along time ago. A bill of exchange of those that we use to carry payments and cashing payments has a close connection, to my surprise with the Middle Ages and with a very famous chivalric order.
In the year 1119, nine of French Knights carried out vows of poverty, obedience and chastity. They were lodged in the stables of King Balduino II of Jerusalem that he constructed over the ruins of the Temple of Solomon. They were The Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon, otherwise called Templars, half monk, half soldier. Their mission was preserving the many pilgrims of the holy places. And that is where this order became a type of bank of pilgrims that traveled to meet with the Holy Sepulcher. They needed to take a lot of money and an enormous infrastructure if they wanted to carry out their journey the pilgrims, in which is why The Templers signed for them a series of bills for which they could exchange for lodge, food etc. in each Templar commission of the road. In return the Templars calculated by means of the different documents the costs and they charged them with the had proven to have from their departure staying with all of the money, thhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife lands and houses if the pilgrim was perishing in the company. That way, in 2 centuries of existence the Templars treasured such an incredible wealth that the same king of France and the Pope of the epoch, finished with their Order’s adventure due to conflicting interests. The Knights, war-like monks and swords flow in a formulate banking system that even today we continue working with, demonstrating the multiple existing springs in the human essence.
What a strange existing surprise the relationship between the bill of exchange and The Knights of Templar and at the same time how fascinating to think all what’s is still to know and to discover.
C’est the vie!
