Time Text
The doom of the Templars.
Arguably the most famous of the Crusader Orders, the Templars were also accused of heresy.
Unlike the Teutonic Order, the Templar Order would not survive these accusations.
Perhaps the Templars were in fact guilty of the various accusations leveled against them, although a more likely scenario is that their demise was the result of political developments.
The Order was rich, and the French king, Philip the Fair, sought to centralize power as well as to increase the wealth of the state.
After all, the Teotonic Knights were expelled from Transylvania for similar reasons.
The actions of the French king were supported by Pope Clement V, who issued a papal bull which ordered Christian monarchs to arrest all knights, Templars, and seize their properties.
On the fateful Friday, the 13th in October of 1307, the Templar headquarters in Paris was subject to a dawn raid.
Their last Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, was arrested and a few years later, in 1314, burned at the stake.
According to legend, De Molay cursed the French king and his descendants from his pyre.
Another legend tells of a Neapolitan Templar who, before his execution, warned that both Philip and Clement would be dead within a year and a day as punishment for their transgressions.
