the group that came to be call the Grey Friars existed from late 1120's and
then they were closer linked to the Knights Templar according to a Papal
decret.
As you probably know the Fransiscaner Order, and a few others, came as a
reaction on the Cistercienser Order's views and life at the monestries. The
Fransiscans in many ways lived according to the origin Benedictiner Order
rules.

Normally there were a closer relation between the Cistercienser Order and
the Knight's Templar. That is true. But there were opposition at an early
stage among the Catholics in 'power' and there was a group acting from the
early days of the Knight Templars who hundred years later came to enter the
Fransiscans. That group was the one that "made" the Grey Friars connection
with the Templars.
It's also from this group the Mason's history origin.
But that's an other story.
