Description

This seal, characteristic of the early seals of the Grand Masters of the Knights Templar, belonged to Renaud or Regnaud de Vichier, one of the Grand Masters of the Order of the Temple. It is engraved with the words: “Sigillum: Militum: Xristi,” meaning "Seal of the Militia of the Temple (of Solomon) and of Christ .“ It depicts two armed men riding the same horse. It symbolizes various aspects of the Templar ideal: poverty, humility, and brotherhood. From a more mystical perspective, it is a reference to the true detachment that Templars were required to demonstrate, in keeping with the motto ”Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam."
