The Templar were divided into three classes. The first class, the knights, consisted of the nobles that joined the order. These comprised the principle fighting arm of the Knights Templar. Knights wore a white surcoat marked with a red cross on the breast. The next class was the sergeants. These were composed of the lower class freemen that joined the order. They provided menial labor, and care, while at the same time serving as infantry on the battlefield. Sergeants wore the red cross on a brown mantle. Third were the clerics. These were priests who could come from any class. The clerics wore green, with the red cross, and gloves. So that their hands would be clean when serving mass, they wore these gloves at all times. As a symbol of chastity, all Templar wore a sheepskin girdle at all times. The banner of the knights was verticle, divided into two squares, one of black and the other of white. The black square symbolized the world of sin left behind when joining the order, while the white one symbolized the pure life that they knights now led. The banner was known as the "Beau Seant," which in French means "Be noble!" or "Be glorious!"
