In this part one of a two part series we examine the 4 things the Knights of the Templar did to conquer Ascalon. History can teach us lot if we take the time to observe and consider it. The Templars in trying to conquer Ascalon had four things: 1. A Definitive Goal; 2. Recruited Help; 3. Repurposed Resources; 4. Filled a Niche. If you're looking to start something new you'll need all four of these items to get started.
