Crux et Sanguis: Montgisard 1177

​November 1177: against overwhelming odds in the desert sand, King Baldwin IV and eighty Knights Templar launched a desperate charge at Montgisard. Driven by unbroken faith, iron discipline, and absolute devotion, a handful of warrior monks turned back an entire army. This is the story of their legendary victory. [ACT I — SANCTUM] Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, Sed nomini tuo da gloriam. In pulvere et cinere, Fides nostra clamat. [ACT II — CRUX ET SANGUIS] Montis ardui silentium, Tempestas sub vesperum. Agmen parvum, cor fortissimum, Crux rubea in scuto. Non tacebit sanguis justorum! Gladius et fides! Deus vult! Deus vult! Tempus pugnae adest! [ACT III — LUX TRIUMPHANS] Hostes cadunt, aer rubet, Venti ferunt canticum. Non retrocedemus, Lux triumphat in aeternum! [ACT IV — IN NOMINE CRUCIS] ...Sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
