Templar Knight Tunic by Marto of Toledo Spain

Templar Knight Tunic from Marto of Toledo, Spain. The white, surcoat-length tunic features a bold, stitched red Templar cross on the chest, with faux-leather trim at the collar and shoulders for a finished appearance. Quartered construction with splits at the front, back, and both sides provides freedom of movement—ideal for layering over a gambeson or mail during reenactments, stage productions, cosplay, or themed ceremonies.

The Knights Templar—formally the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ—were founded in Jerusalem in 1118 by nine crusader knights. Confirmed at the Council of Troyes in 1128 under Pope Honorius II, the Order received the white vestment symbolizing purity; Pope Eugene III later added the distinctive red cross in 1146. Installed by King Baldwin II in quarters believed to be Solomon’s Temple, the brotherhood became known as the Templars (1118–1314). Their battlefield record in defense of the Holy Land is legendary, while the fate of their rumored treasure remains one of medieval history’s enduring mysteries.
