Sir Edward:

I think the Templars mostly used variants of the Maltese Cross. Some looked slightly like the Cross Potent, with straight bars that only flare out at the ends.

ECOX:
Great pics.

SirNathanQ:
Thank you ECOX  And from what I'm familiar, that's simply a cross potent with flared ends. Seems closer to that then a Maltese IMO

Sir Edward:
Right, it's similar. Actually, I kept saying Maltese Cross, but it's really more of a Cross Pattée that they used a lot. I've never really seen a true Cross Potent associated with Templar imagery that I can recall. Of course that doesn't mean it didn't exist. :)

But if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't completely standardized within the Templars.

Sir William:
You are correct, Sir Edward, it wasn't standardized amongst the Templars...I've seen the cross portent, the pattee (which is on my garb) and the beatific (which is much like the portent, except the arms are straight and dual pointed, making eight points in total).
