Knights Templar History and Medieval Resources: Jokes and anecdotes

This site deals primarily with the history of Medieval Knights Templar, largely leaving aside modern followers.There are posts related to the history of the Knights Templar, as well as materials about Medieval History in general: books, movies, online resources etc. I don't avoid dealing with dubious and mythical conceptions regarding the Middle Ages and the Order of the Knights Templar, but I tend to be rather skeptical...

The brothers of the Knights Templar Order were prohibited from wearing shoes with pointed toes, as well as fur trims on their attire (other than sheep's fur). This, of course, indicates how fashionable this sort of footwear was at the time, and medieval illuminated manuscripts seem to confirm this trend. The way I would see it: sign me up! As long as I am legally protected from wearing such buffoonish shoes, I might as well be a Templar knight! Many, I am sure, felt the same way.
