The templar knights, the hospitalers, the teutons, generally the members of the military orders in the middle ages were refered to as warrior monks. This wasn't completely accurate, as they were not monks, but as they did make many of the same vows and followed daily routines based on the rule of st. Benedict, this is not too far off.
