Author@墨墨 Can you add more about the Knights Templar's history?

The Knights Templar were initially founded to protect pilgrims, but accumulated immense wealth through exceptional financial management. This is precisely why Philip IV coveted them and falsely accused them. This history not only reveals the price of greed but also symbolizes the tragic fall of chivalry in the game of power.

I don't really understand the connection between financial issues and knights. Are knights paid very highly?
