Back in the ninth century, the original Templars were simply known as the ”Poor Knights of the Temple” or the “Bedesmen.” They were the predecessors to Saint Cuthbert and their founder, Saint Bede who they were named after. These Poor Knights would be the first official Templars who were in all the cathedrals of the New Foundation in the time shortly after Saint Columba of Iona in the sixth century.

This was when the Irish and Scottish Celtic Druid Church who were called Culdees had joined the Roman Church to then become the official Universal Brotherhood, or what we know today as the Catholic Church. A time when Petra (Saint Peter) was made the rock of the church and Jesus the Grand Master or Cornerstone was made Christ of the new foundation in which these Bedesmen were given the task of saying prayers for the founder, Kings and knights under the Temple of Solomon and Rosy-Cross of the new law which we know as the New Testament.

It was Saint Bede in the 9th century who was a Scottish born Levite and the first brother who had given us the spiritual story of the Temple of Solomon into a new format for the New Foundation of the brotherhood that was formed under the Universal Church. The name of the medieval book is De Tabernaculo and De Templo. In the book Bede had laid out the blue prints for the new brotherhood plan for Jerusalem, AKA the church. This plan included the tribes of Boaz and Jachin, but also for the first time worthy gentiles whom in the story are referred to as Masons that are the living stones of the Temple.
