Inspired by the Templar's sensational victory at Montgisard, Renaud, Lord of Margat, donated half of the income from several of his cities to the order's cause.

Famous quotes containing the words gathering and/or support:
“This wild night, gathering the washing as if it were flowers
animal vines twisting over the line and

in the gesticulations of shirtsleeves ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
