About The Knights Templars of Albion

The Aims Of The Order

Who are the Knights Templars of Albion:

The Knights Templars of Albion Order is an internationally recognised Templar Order. The Order was founded on the basis of the original Knights Templar Constitution of 1127 to 1307. All Order Council Members and Senior ranked officers should be Invested following the secular tradition before any appointment to the Order Council can commence. Members Invested as Knights or Dames of the Order have the right under Templar Foundations to use the Post-Nominal of KT after their name. Sergeants of the Order can be seconded from the member body as long as they have passed the Apostle Program or a recognised derivative or have held a similar recognised post.

​

The Knights Templars of Albion are committed to upholding the core values of Honour, Respect and Loyalty.
