The Military Order of the Temple was created in Jerusalem around 1118 to defend holy places in Palestine. Assisted by the Knights Templar during the reconquest of Dom Afonso Henriques, the founder of Portugal donated the lands of Tomar to them in 1160. D. Gualdim Pais, the first Portuguese Grand Master and Knight of the Order of the Templars, ordered the construction of the Castle. After founding the Convent, it became the seat of the Military Order of the Temple in Portugal.

João I, in fulfillment of a promise made on August 14, 1385 to Our Lady, should he win the Castilian army.
