"Days of the Upright", O.I.A Roche: To become a Templar, one had to be nobly born of legitament accent. Nine knights, of the Du Puy family who went to the first Crusade with Hugues Du Puy were related to Hugues Du Puy sharing his bloodline who became Templars. Chevalier (Knight) Alleman Du Puy, the son of Hugues, is of our bloodline.
In the "Chateaux de Versailles, or Palace of the Hall of the Crusaders," Room 21, we saw on central arch, to the far left, a coat of arms marked "1096 Tnond de St. Gilles, Comte De Toulouse" This room has also, in upper left-hand comer over window, a coat of arms of "Hugues Du Puy, Sgr., Lord de Pereins d'Apifer de Rochefort, 1096."
In the First Crusade, Hugues Du Puy, one of the Dauphin's Knights and a crusader, for the Conquest of the Holy Land, accompanied by his three sons Adolph, Romain and Raymond, went with Godefroy de Bouillon to Palestine in the year 1096.
Guy Allard, p. 1, "Histoire Genealogique de Famille de Du Puy-Montbrun a Grenoble,* 1682." "The Family of Du Puys had as a surname de Podeolo, de Psuato, de Puteolo, or de Podio. They are to be found at the siege of Nice by General Suleiman, of the Turks. "Then when the City of Azare had been captured, he (one of this Du Puy Family) obtained the Civil Rights under the name of Wido of Pusato. This cannot be a mistake because when Peyrins and the other places of the Romans were dependencies of the ancient kingdom of Bourgoyne, it was necessary that among those who took part in the Crusades there should be some of this country; I have arranged part of the names of the gentlemen who were in this party, Guy de Chevrieres, Alleman, Rodolphe & Remain du Puy, sons of Hugues.
Their surname was de Podio. Second General Hugues Du Puy I, founded the Abbey of Aiguebelle, order of St. Bernard, Diocese of "St. Paul-trois-Chateaux."

Wikipedia.com: The Knights Templar Knights Templar traces their origin back to shortly after the First Crusade. Around 1119, a French France nobleman from the Champagne province region, Hugues de Payens, collected eight of his knight relatives including Godfrey de Saint-Omer and began the Order, their stated mission to protect pilgrims on their journey to visit the Holy Places. They approached King Baldwin II of Jerusalem, who allowed them to set up headquarters on the Temple Mount. The Dome of the Rock, at the center of the Mount, was understood to occupy the site of the Jewish Temple. Known to Christians throughout the Muslim occupation of Jerusalem as the Holy of Holies, the Dome of the Rock became a Christian church, the Templum Domini, the Temple of the Lord. But the Templars were lodged in the Aqsa Mosque, which was assumed to stand on the site of Solomon's Temple. Because the Aqsa m\Mosque was known as the Templum Solomonis, it was not long before the knights had encompassed the association in their name. They became known as the Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici - the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, which was shortened to "Knights Templars".
The original Order of Knights consisted of Hugues de Payens and eight knights:
Two of whom were brothers and all of whom were his relatives by either blood or marriage: Godfrey de Saint-Omer Payne de Monteverdi Archambaud de St. Agnan Andre de Montbard Geoffrey Bison and two men recorded only by the names of Rossal and Gondamer The ninth knight remains unknown; although, some have speculated that it was Count Hugh of Champagne himself, despite the Count returning to France in 1116 and documentary evidence showing that he joined the Knights on his third visit to the Holy Land in 1125.
