The Templars are currently
so many serious and often mutually exclusive publication, that today it is
difficult to tell what is true and what is not. But you can not deny that this
is a very mysterious religion, which probably can be attributed to many a
conspiracy theory.

Pope Innocent II issued a
papal bull, which gave the Templars total independence. Stated that constitute
"law unto themselves" - are independent of one army. Independent or
of kings, nor of prelates, or from any ecclesiastical authority of the Pope and
the secular
Pope Clement V, who
contributed to pressure from Philip IV Beautiful to the fall of the Knights
Templars.
Philip IV the Fair
- the intrigue is considered to be the direct cause of the arrest of the
Templars. Apparently the main reason for his actions aiming at the destruction
of the Order, was the seizure of his goods and to avoid repayment of the huge
debts incurred by the Knights Templar.

after the liquidation of the law than the real object of
worship.
