During the high point of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, under which the Order of the Temple flourished, they grew quickly in military and financial strength. This was through the award of gifts of land and income - they were attractive to the ruling dynasty and its nobility because the knights' upkeep was covered by the Order and not the crown. However, the Templars strength was in the control of strategic places, not open warfare. Garrisons of the Order at places like Gaza could have an impact far greater than their size would suggest, in terms of raiding trade routes and disrupting enemy lines of communication. Still, the Templars would only ever have perhaps 250-300 field-ready knights at most, with a support network of squires and footmen numbering twice that. (Smail, 1995)

Does that make them a significant military? Well, the field armies of the Crusader states before 1187 were larger, as were most crusader armies from the West. Consider the Second Crusade of Conrad III and Louis VII, which comprised the best part of 3000 knights at the start of the march in Anatolia. (Runciman, 1951) Compared to the army of a leading European prince in his home lands, such as the King of France, the Templars at their zenith could not have entered into a military conflict.

Let us fast forward to their arrest in 1307. The Templars are no longer at the pinnacle of their strength. Why? Firstly, the loss of Acre in 1291 has effectively ended the period of pro-active crusading in Palestine and Syria proper. This severed a source of income for the Order, which had been a huge holder of land in the region (much to the annoyance of writers like William of Tyre). During the Third Crusade grandmaster Robert de Sable (yes, the Assassins Creed guy) had purchased Cyprus from Richard I of England, but they no longer held that either. While they were still wealthy from their business and financial interests in Europe, they were no long the transcontinental force they had been.

In addition, the legitimacy of the Order was papal, as the grandmaster was absolved of obedience from any Earthly authority save that of the pope. When Clement V, who later transferred the papal court to Avignon, ordered the Templars to be suppressed, they were effectively out of options.

So let's sum up. They were powerful in military terms, but in a relative way. Their strength was based on a very particular and context-sensitive style of combat which was effective in the East. Their numbers, even at their height, made them no match for the princes of Europe. They were also rich, but had seen their Middle Eastern estates eroded for decades and then finally extinguished almost entirely. In the West, they could operate as long as the patronage from Rome endured - without it they did not have the physical resources to resist a direct attack. Because the size of the Templar army and the age of the Templars in France was not enough to fend off the French Army.

This was just a super quick couple of thoughts, but if you want to know more check out The New Knighthood by Barber, which is all about the Templars and will give you a great insight I think!

"Non puoi risolvere un problema con lo stesso tipo di pensiero che hai usato per crearlo" (Albert Einstein). Sempre di più nella società odierna è importante unire all’approccio razionale, la capacità di andare oltre, di utilizzare la parte emotiva, creativa, in grado di trovare sempre nuove soluzioni ed elaborare strategie innovative. Vi è la necessità di utilizzare al meglio sia la parte razionale, il pensiero verticale, che quella creativa, il pensiero laterale. Il pensiero verticale è selettivo, il pensiero laterale è produttivo. Il pensiero verticale è analitico, il pensiero laterale è stimolante. Il pensiero verticale è consequenziale, il pensiero laterale può procedere a salti. Con il pensiero verticale si usa la negazione allo scopo di bloccare alcuni percorsi; con il pensiero laterale non esiste alcuna negazione. Con il pensiero verticale ci si concentra e si esclude ciò che è irrilevante, con il pensiero laterale si accolgono favorevolmente le intrusioni del caso. Con le categorie del pensiero verticale classificazioni e definizioni sono fissate, con il pensiero laterale non lo sono.
