Templar cross

(1/3) > >>

Sir Nate:
This has always bothered me, in the white plain of a templars surcoat, does the cross lie on the heart, or is it centered with the plain?

Sir Edward:

As far as I know, both were done.

Sir Nate:
I thought the cross in the center of the chest was just for normal crusading soldiers
and the cross on the heart was for knights, or higher ranking templars.

Sir Edward:

It gets complicated. The Templars were granted special permission to wear a red cross on a white habit.

Sir Nate:
since crusaders were say hospitallers, templars, teutonics. can someone were say any surcoat fighting for jerusalem be considered a "crusader"?
