On Friday the 13th in October of 1307, the Templars were Outlawed by a Papal Bull which charged them with Heresy. On this unlucky day, all the Knight Templars in France were simultaneously arrested. Many were surprised by this unexpected turn of events because the Knights Templars were considered the army of the Catholic Church. /3
In fact, it took considerable effort on the part of the King of France, Phillip IV, to influence the Pope to make this declaration. Part of this effort included holding relatives of the Pope hostage to insure the declaration was made.
Phillip IV had his own motives. He had borrowed heavily from the Templar Treasury to finance his wars against England. If he could get the Templars outlawed, not only could the debt be cancelled but the Templar banks, with their treasure, could be seized.
The Priory De Scion’s intelligence network had advance knowledge of the King’s secret plan to have the Knights Templars outlawed and arrested. They advised the Templars to give up peacefully. They were told that they would be protected by the Church and found innocent at a later trial.
All the treasure in the Templar banks was removed from France accompanied by the best Templar Knights on the Templar Fleet which sailed to Scotland. Later, this treasure and these fighting Knights were allied with Scotland’s Fight for independence from England.
