The Knights Templar
The Knights Templar began as a religious orderand then the Templars became an order of Warrior Monks guarding pilgrims to Jerusalem.
They later developed into a huge trading and banking organisation controlling most ports and shipping traffic in the Mediterranean.
It was because of their power in controlling medieval shipping and trade that eventually they were destroyed by the King of France (who also owed them money !).
