So is there any historical equivalent to the Jedi Knights? Elite warrior monks who defend a republic but are ultimately betrayed?

The Knights Templar. They were among the mightiest warriors of Christendom until they were betrayed by the church.

They were betrayed by the King of France. The pope even kept records for future generations to know that the charges were horse shit.

Well the Jedi Knights were a plethora of cultural influences.

There's knightly monastic orders.
Then there's the whole Samurai (and later Wuxia) imagery.
Then there's the Taoist/Wudang Monk imagery.
