What papers show Tomar's 1357 switch, and any Templar land kept back?
Research question: What records document the 1357 conversion of the former Templar seat at Tomar into the Order of Christ's seat, and do they show whether any Templar buildings or property were withheld from the transfer?
The only source in the facts that dates the 1357 transfer is the Instituição da Ordem de Cristo, which states that the Order's seat was moved to the Convent of Tomar in that year 5. Other facts give background: the Templars' Portuguese assets were assigned to the Order of Christ after the suppression 4, and the Tomar castle was built as the Templar seat 3. None of the verified facts show whether any Templar buildings or property were withheld from the transfer, and the water-culture source expressly gives no 1357 date and does not address withholding 4. The newest fact is from 2024 1, so the evidence is not a current account of the transfer itself. The question is only partly answered by these facts.
