Knights Templar First Headquarters

Knights Templar First Headquarters

 

The first headquarters of the Knights Templar, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Crusaders called it the Temple of Solomon and it was from this location that the Knights took their name of Templar. The Carruthers have two chevrons on their crest for the two crusades they fought in.

This is the same Temple that were in both Jewish and Islamic tradition as the area of Mount Moriah where Abraham offered up his son in sacrifice.

Same Temple where King Solomon built the First Temple almost 3,000 years ago. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, but 70 years later Jews returning from exile built the Second Temple on the same site. King Herod refashioned it into an edifice of great splendor.

Same Temple where in Muslim tradition, the place is also identified as the ” furthermost sanctuary”.

Following the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in the year 70, the area of the Temple was deliberately left in ruins (first by the Romans, then by the Byzantines). This desecration was not redressed until the Muslim conquest of the city by the Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab in 638. He ordered the clearing of the site and the building of a house of prayer.

Some 50 years later, the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik built the Dome of the Rock to enshrine the outcrop of bedrock believed to be the place of the sacrifice on Mount Moriah. He (or his son, the Caliph al-Walid I) also built in 1033 the large mosque at the southern end of the Haram, which came to be called al-Aqsa after the Koranic name attributed to the entire area.

After the conquest of Jerusalem by the crusaders, the Dome of the Rock was converted into a church and called Templum Domini (the Temple of the Lord) and al-Aqsa became a church called Templum Solomonis (Solomon’s Temple). They were reconverted into Muslim houses of worship after Saladin’s conquest of Jerusalem in 1187 and have remained so ever since.

This is our Carruthers history.   King David was so pleased with all the Carruthers who came home from the crusades, he gave us our royal colors and chevrons.   He also stated that  ” the Carrutheris sit at the right and left hand of God. ”  This was a common phrase use in medieval times.  It does not have a biblical meaning.  The words Euonumos and Dexios were used in this phrase meaning of equal importance.  Left hand referred to trust, strength and the right hand meaning heart or love and wisdom.  Both of equal importance and position of honor.

The Carruthers have never turned their backs on their God and their County.
