The Tunisian Rite of the Templar Order was the branch of the Templar Order active in Tunisia during the Renaissance.

History

In 1511, the Templars bribed the Hafsid King Muhammad IV to allow only Templar-approved merchants to bring goods into the markets of Tunis. However, these bribes were stolen by Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by the Italian Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore, and put to other uses.

Some time thereafter, the Templars manipulated Muhammad into imposing quotas and mandates on local farmers that served their own goals rather than the citizens' needs. However, the Assassins protected the farmers and eliminated the king's extortionists.

Later on, the Templars bribed corrupt Hafsid ministers in exchange for loosened restrictions on imports and exports. However, the Assassins eliminated the most corrupt ministers and sent a message that corruption would not be tolerated. Eventually, the Templars were expelled from Tunis by the Assassins.
