The Knights of Saint Thomas are an English Christian military order founded by Peter of Roche[?], the Bishop of Winchester[?] around 1227 during the third crusade. According to Gregory IX[?] this was done thanks to the negligence of the existing canons of the Hospital of St Thomas in Acre. Peter of Roche was a warrior bishop who contributed to the defences of Jaffa and Sidon.
