They were so powerfull and wealthy ..... (even more than philip himself) that they were considered uncomftable.... and they had to get their wealth for themselves off course, so the pope Clement (put there by philip himself) agreed to that horrible nonsense.
Lies and deception were all they needed to finish them off and get their power .
Jacques de molay, the last grand master of the order, damned the kings of france before dying consumed by the flames.... Louis XVI got the message. hehehe.
I find it interesting it didn't mention how their ENTIRE fleet vanished overnight...or that the majority of their wealth was never found (grail aside)
@jackson7715 Not that this is superimportant, but Robyn Young is a writer of historical fiction (!!) and her books should be treated as what they are - fiction. Definitely not a good tool to educate oneself in Medieval History.
Both these groups were fighting the dumbest wars...This coming from a Christian... I do not feel sympathy for the knights... They knew what was to come, and they were in fact invaders
WHATEVER THE TEMPLARS WERE DOING BEHIND DOORS REALLY WAS NO REASON TO GO AFTER THEM.....THE TEMPLARS HAD LOANED PHILIP MONEY AND HE SAW DESTROYING THEM AS A WAY TO NOT TO HAVE TO PAY IT BACK.
That conclusion on the templar suppression is so misrepresentative. the official exhonouration of the templars from their 'crimes' were released from the vatican by apparent lost file. Philip had bankrupted his own country and the easy way to bail himself out was to steal their wealth. Sort it out history channel!
That's why all over the World they want people 2 have sympathy for the Jews.That ain't because the love Israël that much,they need the land back.And now all hell broke loose in the Middle East,It's gonna be a matter off time before they invade there.They need support off the people first.So the people dont have no suspicions,kind off like in a way 2 justify the invasion towards the people.They need the land back 2 fulfill the Prophecy.You're in God service or out off God's service.C for yourself
The muslims destroyed the Templars. And the monarchy and the Vatican didn't like that and blamed them because the holy Land was now lost.The Templars were 2 make sure to protect the teachings of the Vatican who infiltrated christianity and they failed.Because J.H.W.H. sent other tribes to destroy them who tampered with the Holy book and miracles off God.And that war still goin' on today.That's why there's so much trouble in the middle east,Beacaue they tryin' 2 get the lost land back!
I heard that some fled and started the Free Masons.. And there is in fact proof that some of them escaped persecution and sailed to North America, and this happened a coupel of hundred years before Columbus did. There is a tribe of Native Americans who wave the Templar Flag. Look it up,. I just saw a show on the history channel about it today. Columbus was also said to be a Knights Templar. He had a red cross on his sail and his grandfather was a Knights Templar.
That is a ludacrous assumption about the Templars... Keep in mind they had no place to run from the Church back then. Sadly their only option was to face Rome & Philip the Fair's wrath and confess to heresy. The Swiss could very well be the last living descandants from figther monk bankers though lol.
There have been ideas that possibly where most Templars fled was into Switzerland. That's why the Swiss are good bankers is because it was passed down to them by the fleeing Templar's who were forced into exile in other lands. I kind of agree with this theory because Swiss banking system is one of the finest in the world.
It was because of vice and interest money dealings and couple with usuary laws that did not represent the true way of God. Some did scarifaces which were not rituals of anything clean, and they were idolaters if man as well as symbols of crosses. Muslims up to today in present day are still following the true way of God. They're with the Almighty and the might of warriors who die in the way of clean worship.
The Templar Knights got their Orders Of Secrecy, but during the Times of Crusades, their Orders Of Secrecy have gotten disarranged because of many other Concealed Organizations just similar to their own Orders.
Just one Concealed Organization became many Concealed Organizations in order to watch each others' Orders being carried out thoroughly and if not, someone else will carry it out if there is failure.
It's been like that for thousands of years. Pure examples: Governments & Religions.
This documentary was ridiculous. First of all, all religious worship is a "ritual". Why do they make it sound and seem like what we Catholics do is Satanic? Also, we Catholics still use relics of the saints. This wasn't a practice that was abandoned. They have performed miracles. We don't worship the saints. We simply ask them for God's help. I also find it strange that they don't really tell us what the Muslims were doing that would bring a group like the Knights Templar to form.
@bittersweetloveyou In other words, by the end of the 11th century the forces of Islam had captured two-thirds of the Christian world. Palestine, the home of Jesus Christ; Egypt, the birthplace of Christian monasticism; Asia Minor, where St. Paul planted the seeds of the first Christian communities — these were not the periphery of Christianity but its very core.
@DaveFLBrn +Crusades are a big black spot in Christianity. Remember a so-called 8th Crusade where they sent their kids to fight with Muslims. Isn't that dumb? I'm not against Christians, but this wasn't good for their reputation, so that's why they made them look like Satans as you said.
@bittersweetloveyou I don't wish to argue but this is as wrong as wrong can be. From the time of Mohammed, Muslims had sought to conquer the Christian world. They did a pretty good job of it, too. After a few centuries of steady conquests, Muslim armies had taken all of North Africa, the Middle East, Asia Minor and most of Spain.
And the Muslim empires were not finished yet. They continued to press westward toward Constantinople, ultimately passing it and entering Europe itself. As far as unprovoked aggression goes, it was all on the Muslim side. At some point what was left of the Christian world would have to defend itself or simply succumb to Islamic conquest.
@DaveFLBrn For last part of your statement: Muslims were so weak and fragmented simply faced with outsiders, so what would they do ? kiss them and love them ? Just remember, they were not called Crussaders by the Muslims, there were called the "Frenga" because the first Crussade eminated from France by the Pope who was French (I think) or a french archbishop
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i wish i was born in that time and see the templars get there ass's killed and CapiTen10 stfu arabs were the most feard people and still are to the people that go aginst us and the only reason jews are alittle strong now is cuz of amarica
no the french preists tried to kill them but they only got about 12% of the templars and the rest escaped to sweeden and greenland and then to america in 1362
The Templards did in fact flee to scotland thats where the whole davinci code thing about the Holy Grail being in the Rosslin Chapel just outside Edinburgh comes from.
Whilst enjoyable to watch from a purely entertaining point, the show at best can be described as bad journalism. Filled with substantial amount of inaccurate information, Self serving theories from supposed professionals. Although hopefully it will lead people to research more into the subject and get a better picture, rather then taking this episode as historical fact.
muslims got batterd whenever it was even numbers, despite being closer to home, united under one leader often, and always one language and belief unlike the christians, they still got their arses kicked. even when they teamed up with the jews in 1099.
ur dumb bud the muslims were just as good as the crusaders they brang amazingly new fighting tacticts such as light cavelery with bows and they baited the entire crusader army out of the castle
philip the fair the then king of france,was a greedy backstabbing bastard, who forced the templars out so he could have all of their wealth. a good series of books to read is brethren by robyn young, prety good read,trilogy set.
It was not so that he could have their wealth, but because he himself was in debt with the Templars. Same idea, but different in that small bit of information
the templars were destroyed for one of the kings i forgot who was sinking into poverty and heard of their vast gold and wealth and wealthy artifacts that would sell for a pretty penny. So he decided to steal from them by finding small things that sea them as faulse worshipers. Like the ritual to spit on the cross fake being gey and one rumor said they worshiped more then one god. Only the pope could save them but the king then blackmailed him for dating and so the pope let the king have his way
Why were the Templars destroyed? Through greed, and that's it. This show kinda makes it seem like it was the Muslims who drove out the Templars, but in fact it was their fellow Christians.
@Bonegirl06 What if the Jews and Muslims were invading through the Templars in the Catholic Church. If Christians destroyed Templars then why they not destroy Hospitaller? Templars were Apostates 40% Jews and 60% Atheists.
