The commandery of the Temple of Barbera (Tarragona) was one of the leading ones of the Crown of Aragon, thanks in part to the collaboration of one of the most notable ‘Templar families’: Queralt-Timor of Santa Coloma. From the beginning of this commandery in the last decades of the twelfth century, they had been its main benefactors and, later on, provided the Militia with knights of the first rank (Pere II de Queralt, Jaume de Timor, Arnau de Timor, Dalmau de Timor...). They were all professional warriors and took an active part in the conquests which the monarchy carried out in the thirteenth century. But in addition, the Queralt family developed a continuous matrimonial policy which linked it by marriage to the different main lineages of the country, also connected to the Temple: Castellnou, Anglesola, Rocaberti… This article is particularly interested in the life and activities of these individuals with the intention of re-evaluating their contribution and giving them the place they deserve in the history of the Temple.
