Following Orders

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

I knew Titus could be no other way....given his allegiances to the female sovereigns in your commandery. 

I choked on my drink!!

[Lady Christina de Pond]

do we need to help you our warrior monk are you ok?

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

No....no....I'm fine. Thanks for the offer though. I just found it funny how Lady FF used the words female + sovereigns in a sentence.....together! Isn't that like a historical double negative?

It is a supreme pleasure to bring mirth to this thread!

Warrior Monk....I believe we were just recently discussing the notion of creating our "own" histories....

and let me assure you, my comment was not one of malicious intent.  That the illustrious Lady LeFay herself oversaw to the care and training of Titus whilst you were on your last crusade, I took for truth.  It would then stand to reason that a strong bond was forged between her and the canine. 

and finally, for everyones' tutelage

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Just to clarify M'lady FF, I do hope you know my comment was in jest and not at all serious, well most of it wasn't serious....

And the food chain of power in my castle runs a little like:

• The Princess
  Lady LeFay
  The Princess
  Gimli
  The Princess
  Titus
  The Princess
  Audrey
  The Princess
  .
  .
  .
  .
  .
  The Princess
  me
  The Princess

And the word "queen" in your definition looks suspiciously dubbed in from here......practicing a little digital slight of hand, and photo shop manipulation are we?

As always, I have nothing to hide

What witchery is this!? I can't do anything with it! Stumped!!!

[Lady Christina de Pond]

only the purest of syntax and semantics may enter....

While some Templars were literate and numerate-and had to be, in order to look after the financial affairs of the order, many were not; they certainly were never scholars. 

[Femme Falchion]

I am curious to know...what was the typical day like for the Knight (Templar or otherwise) when not on crusade?  Were there certain expected daily practices?

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Were their certain expected daily practices?

Absolutely!

There was a standard for them to follow, set down in the "Rule". Although the bottom line to any of the items set forth in the Rule could be changed at the Master's desire.

I had the schedule posted on the old forums, but will dig through my stuff and repost it, or send it PM as desired.

[Femme Falchion]

 I can research the Rule (as in the Latin Rules?) but who was the "Master" in terms of the pecking order? The leader of individual preceptories? 

I know this was covered in a previous lecture, I mean, posting...so forgive me for the redundancy

He would be the one Master of the Temple.

This might open the door for me to post a little history on each of them.....
