Did church rules on lending money mention the military orders or give them exceptions?

Research question: Do papal decretals or conciliar canons on usury from the 12th and early 13th centuries explicitly address the military orders' lending, and do they name any exemption or exception?

The records show that Lateran IV's single usury canon (Canon 67) targeted Jews' lending rather than the military orders, and it names no exemption for any lender ¹. The Third Lateran Council's canon 25 addressed notorious usurers' access to communion and Christian burial, with no exception for any group named in the passage ². Neither verified fact covers papal decretals, so the evidence cannot show whether such letters addressed the military orders or named exemptions ¹². The newest verified fact dates to 1215, about 811 years before October 2026, so the evidence is historical rather than current ¹.
