I find some of their mythology silly, but I don't even know first-hand that they actually believe any of it. Beyond that, I don't have much of an opinion. I should also add that the person who taught me about the knights' influence on the development of Switzerland was a freemason; I should have been careful to make the point that it is Masonic legend, and that it is not me asserting its truth.

Since you don't have anything but your own imaginings and anti-Masonic websites, you should stop talking about Freemasonry. Your paranoid animus towards Masons is disgusting.

"knights' influence on the development of Switzerland was a freemason"

Well, the fact that the KT were the original secret bankers (for safety of pilgrims to the Holy Land) and the KT uniform was a white cloth with a red cross (now the Swiss flag) would be a tip off, too.

That and these really pissed-off mounted knights that came out of nowhere to defeat the French Fair King who decided to expand to a neighboring mountain area, organizing mere farmers in "modern" military formations was mighty suspicious.

And all the statues to the KT all over Switzerland,stating they founded the country, helps, too.
