The Templar's Curse

The Knights Templar are under arrest, torture and trial, followed by penance for life. Chronicling the dissolution of the order after the trial in 1307, when many of its members were burned at the stake as heretics, this book investigates the consequences of the Templar's persecution and their mysterious legacy.

On the 18th March 1314, in Paris, Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and Geoffroi de Charney, preceptor of the Knights Templar in Normandy, are led to the stake. Before the pyre at their feet is set alight, Jacques de Molay speaks to the watching crowd, proclaiming a curse on those who had wrongly condemned them.

A month later Pope Clement V, who had helped to condemn the Knights Templar, died. Their chief persecutor, Phlip IV of France, followed him to the grave a few months later. And famine, plague and revolt were to follow. Was the Templar’s curse coming home to roost?

The Templar’s Curse shows the Knights Templar under arrest, torture and trial, followed by penance for life.
