St. John of Matha
founded the ORDER OF THE TRINITARIANS
(Ordre des Trinitaires pour le rachat des captives)
in AD 1197, in order to exchange prisoners.
Pope Innocent III
approved the order on 17 December 1198.
Its rule also corresponds with the Rule of the Order of St. John in some instances verbally or follows the same philosophy.
