Following the dissolution of the Knights Templar, or the Order of the Temple, several groups have claimed to have unbroken descent from the initial Order. The origins of most Neo-Templar groups can be traced to a revivalist Templar order founded by French physician Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat in 1805, who claimed to have discovered an unbroken chain of Knights Templar Grand Masters descending from the original group. A separate wing of Neo-Templarism grew from the works of French esotericist Jacques Breyer in the 1950s. The idea of the Templars' continued existence has been criticized by scholars of Templar history. These orders typically draw from western esotericism.
