In this video, we delve into the mysterious and tragic downfall of the Knights Templar, a powerful Christian military order that was entrusted with safeguarding Christian pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land in the 12th century. We explore how their wealth and power made them a target for King Philip IV of France, who saw their riches as a way to alleviate his financial troubles and resented their independence. In 1307, the king with the support of the pope, ordered the arrest of all the Templars in France on largely made-up charges of heresy and corruption. The Knights were imprisoned, tortured, and forced to confess to false crimes. Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was burned at the stake in 1314, cursing the king and pope who ordered his execution and prophesying their deaths within a year. Shockingly, both the king and pope died within a year of his execution, leading many to believe that the curse was real. Join us as we uncover the dark conspiracy behind the Knights Templar's demise and explore the curse that saw the king and pope dead.
