The Revenge of Templars

A text about the events after the Templar Knights:

"The nineteenth of March of 1314, Jacques de Molay, the master of the order of the Knight Templars, was burnt at the stake in front of Notre-Damme, condemned for heresy and perjury. This was the tragic culmination of seven years of tortures and persecutions, that put an end to the most powerful order of Christendom. During two centuries, the templars had been the owners of more than a half of Europe's properties,and lots of treasures. The templars were the bankers of the principal Lords and Kingdoms, and in their hands was the Real Treasure of France.

This was the cause of their misfortune.Phillip IV, King of France, humiliated by his economical servitude to the templars, entrusted his right hand, Guillaume de Nogaret, the task to create the favorable conditions to make disappear the order. The first detentions were made in october of 1307.

The legend tells that while Jacques de Molay, the last master of the order, was burning at the stake, looked at the king , the pope, and Nogaret, and shouted a course: "In a year, the three responsibles of this misfortune will be dead."

In fact, in a year, all were dead under suspicious conditions. The pope dead in a journey to Avignon, in the Ville of Roquemaure due to a sudden intestinal illness. Nogaret was killed in his villa: his murderer was never found. The king died while he was hunting all alone , it's told that it was an accident."

Anyone have information about these?Or the events are only coincidences?

Now seriously, the templars had the financial capabilities to organize such a revenge. It's hard to say they were totally crushed, and many knights could have had a new life, based on the fact that they were one of the best money lenders (alongside the hebrews) in the Middle Ages.
