On October 13, 1307, (a Friday, but not linked with the superstition) King Phillip IV of France had every single templar simultainiously arrested, and he had Pope Clement V excomunicate the leader and pretty much disolve the whole organization. Yhey were forced into false confessions and charged with herrasy and witchcraft. They were all burned at the stake and the leader, when he was being burned, proclaimed that he would see the Pope and Phillip at the gates of heaven to be judged before 5 years had gone by. They both died within the year.

Why did people save their money in the middle ages in the holy land?

AnswerThey didn't. There were no banks as we know them and to send money that far would have been dangerous. AnswerPeople could save money in the Holy Land, but they had no reason to do so unless they lived there or intended to go there. Large amounts of money were routinely transferred by the Knights Templar who provided many of the services of later banks. The Knights Templar could transfer money to the Holy Land, if that was what a person wanted, but they would not do so unless it was specifically requested, and the money deposited with them was usually kept where was. And transfers were also possible to other places.Please see the link below for information on the Knights Templar.


What were the Knights Templars famous for?

Both the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers were Orders of monks. The Templar Order was accepted into the Church of Rome by Pope in 1129, when their first Rule was compiled to regulate their dress, equipment and religious services. This put them on exactly the same level as other Orders of monks: the Cluniacs, Benedictines and Cistercians - with one major difference:Their task was primarily to protect Christian pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem, so they became a military religious Order consisting of knights, non-noble serjantz and servants who worked as labourers, craftsmen, cooks, grooms and so on. All of them were also (first and foremost) monks, and the Templars also included priests to conduct daily services, hear confessions and give absolution to those killed in battle. Death on the battlefield as a member of the Order was considered Christian martyrdom, meaning that a Templar would expect to go straight to Heaven.The Order of Knights Templar was abolished by Pope Clement IV in 1312, just 183 years after its acceptance by an earlier Pope. People who today pretend that the Order can be re-established conveniently forget the main part of the Templar function: as monks within the Catholic Church, regulated by a Pope and having religious conviction as their primary function.MoreThe function of the Knights Templar, to protect pilgrims, was extended to protect the property of the pilgrims, both on the road and at home. Money and other valuables were often deposited with the Knights Templar for safekeeping. In many cases, money was deposited for transportation, and this eventually turned into a system under which money could be deposited in one place and withdrawn in another. Naturally, the Knights Templar provided a prototype for the early banks.The collapse of the Templars created a need for others to provide the same service. This need was met by merchant families, whose members traveled under guard, and who could manage property for clients. This gave rise to the system of banking that appeared in the Late Middle Ages.There is a link below to an article on the Knights Templar, to the section describing their economic importance relative to banking.


List 10 things about knights templar?

# For one they became a group in 1118. # Their main objective was to protect the Holy Lands and everything Holy. # The biscuit comes from Templar history, they would make large flat bread to take on trips. # Friday the 13th was when the Templar group was accused for worshipping the devil and burned at the stake. # Hugo de Payens and Godfrey de St. Omar persuaded the King of Jerusulam for their group to establish themselves and their companions in the Royal Palace. This is reputed to be where the group started. # Knights who had to be of Noble birth, or were knighted by the Grand Master for chivalry conduct. Knights would wear a Bronze Ring. # The Knights Templars are reputed to be the founders of some of the first banks, Bankers of the Levant (encompassing theHoly Land). # After his arrest on 10th October 1307, Jacques de Molay 'confessed' to many things in order to avoid the torture chamber. The trials and the 'confessions' had been proclaimed and public opinion was firmly against the Templars. The only concession the Pope was able to extract from Philip (King of France) was that all Templar holdings be returned to the Church# After the death of Jesus it is interesting to note that Mary Magdalene went to Europe and formed her own church, not based on Christianity, but the old religion of Egypt 'Isis/Osiris', believed to be the same beliefs of the Magi. Was Mary Magdalene a high priestess of the Magi? She was accompanied by disciples of the faith known as 'keepers of the faith' (Knights Templars) to guard her, it is this Order of the Knights Templar that took the true faith from the Magi of Egypt, the same faith that Jesus practiced # Their main goals are to promote:Fraternity, Friendship, Spirituality, Meditation,Charity and Chivalry. (To fund the set up of Spiritual Centres teaching Meditation & Spiritual Matters) To maintain the history of the Knights Templar and preserve Ancestral Heritage To encourage the noble ideals of Chivalry and to promote 'Nobility through deeds of Charity & Honour'.To support the poor, the sick, the unjustly accused, to stand against oppression and to protect freedom & liberty

The Poor Knights of Christ as they were known were, at the heights of their power, the richest organization in the world. They were an arm of the holy Catholic Church but didn't have to share their resources with the church. They owned a very large part of what is now France. They controlled many castles in Europe and the holy land. Their Army was the largest and most capable in the world. Nobles from throughout the western world joined their ranks and gave them huge tracts of land. The Pope abolished the order in 1307 and he issued an order (Papal Bull Vul Ex Excelsio) excommunicating anyone who became a Templar. For information on the modern order which has been reformed in the 1800's see related links. Hope this helped.
