No, i'm not saying you could magical transform your local serves into templar or hospitaliers knights, but being able to recruit some of them (perhaps 2 or 3 in a month, and perhaps 3 to 5 sergents). The real question was about being templar and own your fief, in spain a lot of fiefs were given to Temple, Santiago, Calatrava and other orders while the hard fight with the islamic troops was so hard to defend them. Like Extremadura (Badajoz and Caceres in game) that was a territory in the frontier of the conflict and has a lot of towns called "de los Caballeros", "del Maestre", names that remind their origin as temple fiefs.
