The beginning of the end .. The burning of 54 knights of the temple for heresy in France

culture

On May 11, 1310, 54 members of the Templars were burned to death in France for heresy, the biggest blow to the well-known organization that began to lose its prestige.

The beginning of the end was in 1307, and on October 13, when King Philip IV ordered the arrest of all the Templars in France. Their trial began on the grounds of heresy. For those who did not know, this group was one of the most dangerous groups in history.

We can call them the Templars, the Knights of Christ, the Temple of Solomon, or the Knights of the Temple, and the Arabs call them Dalaiya, a religious military group.

The group was founded in Jerusalem in 1119 AD and founded by the French knights Hugh de Baines and Jodfrei of Saint-Omer. It was originally called "the poor brothers, the soldiers of Christ and the temple of Solomon." Later, when they became stronger, they became the military elite and spearhead of the medieval Catholic Church.

The objective of the group was "to protect Christianity". Their main purpose was to protect visitors on their way to and from the Holy Land, but they became an essential part of the European entity and a key factor in its politics, economy and religious ideas.

The Knights Templar was governed by a set of religious rules developed by St. Bernard Clairvaux, based on austerity, chastity and obedience, avoiding excessive ritual and clothing, and only wearing white clothing with a red cross added.

The Department began to add to the Templars since 1905, in 1312 CE, Pope Clement V gave in to the pressure of King Philip and issued a decree to stop the Knights Templar, and the trials began.
