    In 1183, Thibaut V, Earl of Blois, sealed the donation of his house to the Knights Templar in 1181. In 1190 Thibaut donated a second time, the Boissière mill at the foot of the parish of Raffaux. Here the Templars set up a commando and a chapel. In the valley there was a strategic position of first order and the place of the passage was easy to monitor.

    In 1248, according to Father Gordas, the Templars of the Boissiére and their pilgrimage hospital of Santiago de Compostela speak of the Cartular of the Madeleine of Chateaudun Abbey. After the disappearance of the Temple Order, the whole was transferred to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

      The community that was gifted with goods and established a command here is often referred to in a shortened form as the "Order of the Templars", but its full name is: "Poor Knighthood of Christ and the Solomonic Temple in Jerusalem". He gained notoriety through the fact that in 1312 this order was dissolved by the French king and the pope and many of its members met their violent end at the stake as alleged heretics. The main reason for the dissolution, however, was not the alleged human and religious misconduct of the members, but rather the legendary wealth of this order. King Philip IV of France primarily wanted to secure the treasures in order to supplement his coffers.
