You are correct. The Knights Templar were "officially" disbanded by Pope Clement V in 1312 although some "conspiracy theorists" claim they still exist to this day. The Knights Hospitaller (Knights of St. John) were the main crusaders agianst the Ottoman Empire that was dominent during the 15th and 17th century (1453-1683) later called the subline Ottoman then Turkey by 1923. The Hospitallers became the Knights of Malta that do exist today in Italy. Some say they are secretly associated with the Vatican. Some of this back history could be influential in the Grimm conspiracy of the Seven Royal families, Verrats, and Laufers.
