This documentary does a great job presenting the rise and fall of the Templar Knights. Everything from the theories of their origins, through their military role, and their financial/banker roles are all nicely covered.
For nearly two centuries, the Knights Templar was the most powerful order in the medieval world. Despite the Knights’ long reign of power, the order experienced a sudden collapse in the early fourteenth century when certain members stood accused of unspeakable crimes and were subsequently tortured and killed. This insightful program interviews some of the world’s leading biblical scholars and visits historic sites throughout Europe and the Near East to probe the past of this mysterious order. Did the Knights, as many believe, guard the Holy Grail? Or was the object of their attentions buried a thousand years before the birth of Christ? The Templar Code is an in-depth examination into the remarkable rise and rapid descent of the powerful and obscure Knights Templar.
