The Military Order of Christ (Ordem Militar de Cristo) previously the Royal Order of the Knights of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Real Ordem dos Cavaleiros de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo) was the heritage of the Knights Templar in Portugal, after the suppression of the Templars in 1312. It was founded in 1318.

Under heavy influence from Philip IV of France, Pope Clement V had the order annihilated throughout France and most of Europe on charges of heresy, but King Denis of Portugal, forced by the Pope who found that the Order's assets should for their nature stay in any given Order instead of being taken by the King, re-instituted the Templars of Tomar as the Order of Christ, largely for their aid during the Reconquista and in the reconstruction of Portugal after the wars. King Denis negotiated with Pope Clement's successor John XXII for the new order's recognition and right to inherit the Templar assets and property.

Entry from: Tomar, Portugal Entry Title: "The Convent of the Order of Christ" Entry: "The Convent of the Order of Christ (Portuguese: Convento de Cristo), in Tomar was originally a Templar stronghold built in the 12th century. After the Order of the Knights Templar was dissolved in the 14th century, the Portuguese branch of the order was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, which supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The guidebook said that a visit to the castle and convent cost money, but we'd been told it was worth while. We were really pleased to find that when we walked in there was no entry charge and we happily explored the grounds for an hour or so, thinking it was pretty good. Then we found the entrance to the main bit! We carefully considered whether or not to spend £5 each to go in but it was money well spent. Even with our desire to get the most for our dosh, we flaked out before we ran out of areas to explore. We lost track of where we were in this huge monastery. The knights/monks fought campaigns in many countries and some of their buildings had architecture inspired by those abroad. The 16 sided chapel is based on one in Jerusalem."
