Pretty cool!

I looked through the catalog a bit. They have quite a wide selection, including Chaucer, most of the relevant kings/queens, knighthood orders, etc.

You know, the Templar seal depicts two knights sharing a horse, in honor of their poor/humble beginnings. I think we should do it the other way around. One knight on two horses. :)
