The Knights Templar

Summary

In this lecture, Dr. Armstrong takes you inside the astonishing arrest of hundreds of Templars in France on October 13, 1307, a day that marked a turning point for the order. Deep in debt and envious of the Templars, King Philip IV accused the order of heresy and blasphemy, and used the arrests as an excuse to seize Templar wealth.
