The Teutonic Knights were (as far as knights go) not evil. They were actually the only order of Knights that would spare the lives of captured prisoners. They were actually founded for the same reason as the Knights Hospitaller, to tend the wounded. Just because they are German does not mean they are evil!

Towards the end to after the crusades, a few of the members of the Knights Templar moved into France, and expanded the order to France.

I think you mean Knights Hospitaller. They were a Christian organization that began as an Amalfitan hospital founded in Jerusalem in approximately 1080 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, it became a religious/military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land.

The medieval Knighthood Order came to existence after the during the first crusade in 1099, the Knights Hospitaller.
However, cavalry troops existed before then which somewhat fulfilled the role of the Knight, yet they may not have had the social and noble status of a Knight. The Normans during their campaign against the Saxons in England made use of mounted troops, it's reckoned that these were catalysts that led onto the knights.
During the Roman Empire's existence, they made use of Sarmatian cavalry in their campaigns, they were reowned for remarkable horseman ship. Some may call theses Knights, but they aren't the same Knights of the Medieval period.
After the first crusade, chivalric codes were righten for the Knight, it became a noble title and a respected position. Originally made for safe passage of Catholic pilgrims to the Holy Lands. This then branched out over Europe as the Western Kingdoms formed their own Knighthood Orders.
Holy Knights did exist as many were strong Catholic believers, however as time progressed in the Late Medieval period, commoners could train to become a Knight, most worked as mercenaries, looking to earn gold for their trade in warfare. These mercenary Knights were far from Holy.
Lady Knights, sadly women were never granted the title of Knight, it simply did not happen.
Joan of Arc may have been an exception, but she was no Knight and she was no warrior. Do not let books and films mislead you.
