You would have to be a pretty active time traveler! The Knights Templar were disbanded in the early fourteen century and the Freemasons didn't really get started until the 19th century. Plus, of course, the Knights Templar were strict Catholics, and the Freemasons are basically their own religion, although they allow their members to attend other Churches as well, claiming that they all worship the same Deity. Membership in the Freemasons has been condemned by every Pope for a couple hundred years.

Some Freemasons will tell you in simplified terms that they are a group of closely-knit men that get together for fellowship both spiritually and intellectually. Now the real anti Freemasons view them in a much more devious light determined that they are out to take over the world. It would seem that their beginnings are somewhat of a mystery in itself. Even the members themselves are often unclear as to the beginning, some will tell you different stories.

the Templar Knights have never been unmade. There are still many orders of the Knights Templar, mostly now involved in charity work, not fighting.
