This episode covers the fall of the Knights Templar in after their arrest in 1307 by the King Philip IV of France. After the fall of Acre in 1291 the Knights Templar had no purpose barring retaking the Holy Land which they didn't. Since he owed them money and didn't want them interfering in his affairs, Philip decided to strike and arrested much of the order. They were accused of heresy and after a longwinded and cruel investigation the Order was dissolved in 1312.

Hope you enjoyed this episode. Next week's episodes will be:
20th - The Occupation of Austria, 1945-55
24th - Julian the Apostate: Rome's Last Pagan Emperor.
Also, bonus fact: In Portugal, when the Knights Templar were disbanded, the Portuguese crown refused to give their property to the Knights Hospitaller (because they were foreign). Instead they created a brand new order, the Order of Christ and gave it all of the Knights Templar's property. It's members were also all ex-Templars. Totally different thing, though.
With your format change is there any chance that you'll resurrect the British history series? (I'd happily become a Patreon member for that)
Nice video.
But is there going to be a 10 min Episode any time soon?
When will the polish-lithuanian episode be released? :o
@@Bonczaable Or Chinese Civil War
Can you talk about the siege of Leningrad?
they basically got Order 66'd
Not the -younglings- Templars!
Templars fate was inspiration for Order 66 in Star Wars storyline.
I said the exact same thing when I first learned about this
Nicholas Meyer but you survived order 66 Obi-Wan, what about anikan and the younglings.
Every templar is now an enemy of Europe!
"Do You Plead Guilty"
"NO"
"THEN I MUST SENTENCE YOU TO DIE BY FIRE!"
seems like a fair trial
The idea was that if the person were innocent, God would intercede for his benefit with a miracle, as he never did, it was understood that God was in agreement with the penalty ...
@@Melnek1 lmao
@@Melnek1 No. The plea was submitted to two separate courts and one of them didn't care about the matter of innocence. You're thinking of a 'trial by combat' which, being primarily pagan, was far more common before the Vatican rose to prominence.
@@FimiliarGalaxy9 I am sure there would be repercussions if a person put to burn alive at the stake went out unscathed.
@@Melnek1 Ugh, no. They were not fucking savages or your common day peasant farmers. They fully understood the implications and that no miracle would happen.
Moral of the story : don't lend money to the french or consequences...
And don't lend money to Philip IV at all, he basically did the same with the lombard and the jews.
Uhh you mean christians lol
It seems many European monarchs were often pretty bad debtors though usually they settled to just defaulting and didn't go this far.
@@alexandred3740 That's the problem :)
@@seneca983 The Trump model
You forgot a tiny detail:
Many Knight-Templars fled to Portugal, the only European kingdom who defied the Pope and accepted the Templars. They went on to become the Order of Christ and play a major role in Portuguese Naval Expansion.
Read the pinned comment.
There's always the conjecture that some of the Templars fled to what became Switzerland, leading to the banking and military upgrades that happened around the same time.
I wish it were true, but as you point out, there is little hard evidence to prove it, history is kind of shit sometimes
Andrew Hawkins my coworker thinks that happened and that they founded the world bank and now control the world and have started every war in human history
@@goldenfiberwheat238 Tell him to get back to work
@@goldenfiberwheat238 you cant argue with conspiracy theorists, any criticism of the conspiracy will just be incorporated into it "they faked the whole thing", "philip was in on it" etc etc
LOLquendoTV he also thinks the Swiss guard is in on it despite the fact that the only requirements to get in are be catholic, Swiss, male, and 18. And he thinks that if your last name is in all caps on your birth certificate that means you’re property of the Catholic Church
Fun fact: Pope Clement at the time was involved in talks with leaders of both great monastic orders (Hospitalliers and Templars) in attempts to merge them and attempt to keep them relevant under protection from rome, but the whole plan went awry mainly because of DeMolay's protests, a move that might have had otherwise saved his order and his life
DeMolays' face was so close to the fire, he didn't see it? Not uncommon for driven leaders.
Fun fact: the Templars kinda survived in Portugal with the help of a little rebranding. They continued there as the Military Order of Christ until 1789.
Edit: Shoot! I didn't read the pined comment - it was already there.
They became Jesuits.
@@VarietyGamerChannel when and how I curious to know more? I know the founder of the juseit order war a spanish noble Conquistador before a catholic monk!

Artur M. Fun Fact the Portuguese air force still has the symbol of the templars in their F16 jets
@@johnrichardson7310 never a conquistador, just a basque noble. As far as i know san ignacio de loyola had no connection to anything resembling the templars
There’s a good book series called The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon which starts with the burning of the last Knights Templar and covers the strife in the French court over the following years. It helped to inspire A Song of Ice and Fire.
So what happened in the french court? Did they do anything to redeem the killing of innocent christian people that were templars or associates?
It's a great book series!
@Nogent so the curse was right! Good for them! The French court got what they deserved.
@Nogent ok... You kinda responded with more than I care to read about. Its not that big of a deal. They either got part of the curse or they didnt. Idk why that other rubbish is you are talking about. Dont know what "candy bear" is.
@@PolishBehemoth Wow, what an ungrateful you are, he bother to answer you clearly and you spit in his face.
And why "The French court got what they deserved"? It was Philip who did questionable things, why punish all the court and its descendants who have nothing to do with this story? (I'm not saying that they were saints).
You're just trying to spread hate for no reason.
Not to forget that the Portuguese King Dennis I denied the order of dissolving the Order in Portugal and created the Order of Christ in their place
I was going to mention that!
I heard because of templars contribution in helping them and that the kings were templars himself
His name was Dennis? Lmao
@@douglasbubbletrousers4763 Dinis in Portuguese which doesn't sound quite as silly, but its still a terrible name for a monarch lol.
Do one on the Knights Hospitallier next
They had colonies in the Americas, so that would be interesting.
@@HistoryMatters yeah... wait what!?

@@HistoryMatters So my EU4 campaign was historical? Did they also conquer and convert Japan?
@@HistoryMatters Or the Teutonic Knights.
I love how when someone is being burned alive or about to be otherwise executed they always have that stoic look on their eyes. Nice touch.
"Yeah I'd rather you didn't. This is a bit inconvenient."
*assassins creed intensifies*
Assassin's Screed is not history
They have the burning of De Molay in the first 10 minutes of the game
By the game, I mean Assassin's Creed Unity (the one in France)
ewww dont mention that shit game that keeps ruining all country's history.
@@gambigambigambi nah f*ck you its an awesome game

brilliant
*bunk*
1291 was also the year switzerland was founded
coincidence? i think not!
The Israelites, 1967: "Allow us to re-introduce ourselves."
@@danielawesome36 funny that when the Israelites returned there was a massive pushback by the Islamic world, especially when it was the West that placed them back there.
Another case in history, amongst an INNUMERABLE amount of cases, where one must consider the source when a person or group is accused of something.
DeMolay also refused to rat out his brothers and burned for it, solid to the end
He was offered the choice, "Squeal or peel."
You forgot to mention that Jacques de Molay cursed the king, the Pope, and the prosecutor while at stake, and within a year, all three were dead. Philippe's three sons would all succeed to the throne and then die without an heir. This led to a succession crisis when Philippe's grandson and nephew both claimed the throne, and since the grandson happened to be King of England, it led to the 100 Years' War.
Also Philip the 4th had a personal reason for taking down the templars. He'd wanted to be accepted as an honorary member but was insultingly denied admission.
Also for those wondering, "fair" referred to his good looks, not that he was an honorable gentleman, cause he wasnt at all.
Yeah he was a peice of crap with a massive superiority complex, I think he even one said something along the lines of " I count only the holy Roman Emperor and the Pope as people who are even close to being my equal"
This dude was a real jerk
Nah he just wanted to seize their wealth.
Templars were just hording money which the state could use. They'd expired in use so it was a smart move
Gosh Medieval Times is so torturey.
Oh, Ancient history and the next few centuries hold their own quite well in the "enhanced interrogation techniques" department, if you catch my drift.
Thumb screw time
History is biased, it tells you of exceptions and the unusual. There were many who lived in peace, tended their families and their land, participated in many festivals, prayed and loved. Our current images of those centuries is created by the enlightenment intellectuals thet tell us how great they themselves are, and by Hollywood that knows as much about history as I know about particle physics. Medieval centuries were a lively, exciting and virile time, more pious than intellectual, yes, but more dynamic and imaginative too.
@@LukeGeoDude true there!
yet some ppl say 2020 is the worst year in history

May the Father of Understanding guide us.
Isn't the father of understanding James Bissonette?
I may be a Assassins fanboy but I think the templar's here got a raw deal here.
Fun fact: the order for their dissolution came on Friday 13th, which is where we get that being an unlucky day from
It did take place on Friday 13th, yes, but that is merely a coincidence. The number 13 was actually considered lucky in France all the way up to the 20th century.
@@itskarl7575 if you supported the king maybe, jk
Jesus was executed a Friday 13rd, too
Isn't it strange that any given 13th day has a 1-in-7 chance of being a Friday, but any given Friday has only about 1-in-30 chance of being the 13th day?
Your animation at 2:12 is now officially my favourite. Hope to continue to see it whenever applicable 😆
I like the knight in full gear being a bank teller lol 00:35
@@arnaldoenriquez6191Yes I love that kind of thing. It's everywhere in his videos.

Bro, I watch a lot of history channels and you are by far the best. You deserve way more subscribers.
No mention of de Molay predicting on the stake that both Philippe IV and Pope Clement would be dead by the end of the year (something that in all actuality happened? Philippe died in November and Clement in April).
Dont fuck with God
He also said God will avenge him
I wish this was longer. There's so much more to the story. Still, a very good cliff notes run down on their jam ✌️
"Without a holy land what were they supposed to do?"
Found Abstergo
There it is, had to scroll way too far down for an AC reference!
Don't be stupid, king of france could use them in his army
I love this video because it's cool to see where History channel's Knightfall embellishes details and changes history
It's also funny to think of shows like Knightfall as productions of Abstergo Entertainment, from the Assassin's Creed series.
It is great that you upload videos more often!
Brilliant summary,thank you.
There's also a very entertaining Donald Duck comic series drawn and written by Don Rosa, where the Duck family is hunting for Templar treasures. The comic summarizes this part of the order's history quite well.
Is that the one where they realize the template don't get the crown, because the day on which they were contracted to receive it was one of the days scrapped by the Gregorian Callender shift? I loved that plot point.
And the bit with the voodoo dolls was pretty hilarious.
@@bificommander7472 it is, I loved Don Rosa's stories far more than the stories of any other Donald Duck author including Carl Barks. I also admire his drawing style and the way he gave Uncle Scrooge some real depth. Have you ever read the one where the Duck family is reliving a Finnish epic?
@@blafoon93 I don't believe that I have. I mostly read the Dutch weekly Donald Duck comic book (Donald is considerably more popular than any other Disney character, Mickey Mouse included, in the Netherlands) which mostly printed locally made comics. Occasionally, they'd include a Don Ross or other American story, often in bits spread over several weeks. The Templar crown story was ran, as was the one about the Indonesian Volcano eruption, but they were the exception. Not too many others that I remember.
Fun fact: many Templars fled to Portugal and were reformed into Order of Christ by king Denis. Later Henry the Navigator was their Grand Master and explorer Vasco da Gama a member. There is also a Templar castle in Tomar which I had a privlige to visit couple of years ago. 🇵🇹
I love this channel and history videos
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!!!!
“No heaven for you”
And 700 years after his death, Jacques DeMolay is still remembered and glorified in the young men's organization that takes his name.
The templars lived on in Portugal. One could claim that Portugal itself is a Templar founded country.
wrong.
Templars origin was from France only.
Created by 9 french knights.
Nothing else.
dede19833 he is not talking about Templars origins...he’s talking about our country (Portugal) was possibly be founded by Templars. The Templars arrived here in 1126, it was “condado portucalense”. The Portuguese kingdom was funded in 1143.
@@nunoaugusto20 And King Afonso I was very close with the templars, even calling them brothers
@@dede19833 typical french chauvinism lol
@@dede19833 Henry, count of Portugal and father of Afonso Henriques, the founder of the Kingdom of Portugal, was a French noble from Burgundy... If I'm not mistaken, he was cousins with Raymond of Burgundy who became ruler of Galicia, whose brother Guy of Burgundy became Pope Callixtus II. And who else, a very famous French patron of the Crusades and the Knights Templar is associated with Burgundy? I'll let you guess. Afonso I of Portugal, the son of Henry, founded churches and monasteries in Portugal under the French Cistercian order, and made donations to them and other associated religious orders in Portugal. Henry also had ties to Raymond IV, Count of Toulouse/Raymond of St. Gilles, who you might better know as the man who established the "County of Tripoli" in the Middle East. The Alcobaça Monastery in Portugal, associated with the Cistercian order of that popular patron of the crusaders, was donated by Afonso to him. And if you are wondering, the famous guy of the crusades who I'm referring to was St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
For the grace, for the might of our Lord
For the home of the holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly
For the grace, for the might of our Lord
In the name of his glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story again
Wait, wrong era of history. My bad. Too many Deus vult memes
Your Friendly Neighborhood Smark Sabaton - Last Stand lyrics??
Ew sabaton.
It's funny that this song isn't about the crusades yet people still associate it with the Crusaders.
The Swiss Guard wasn't even a holy order.
And they protected the Holy See from German mercenaries who weren't paid enough. They protected the Papacy from unpaid Christians basically.
I've debunked this, I must be fun at parties and yes, you're welcome.
@@AndrewVasirov Can't hear you! All this crusading is pretty loud!
The Whale Bear
Oh no, he has Deus Vult in.
note that one of the main objectives of the French king was to seize the enormous treasure the knights had stored in France.
And then know that that treasure was never found...
cuz it didnt exist
those guys were a big ass bank they had all their money tied up in real estate and loans
@@TheFormHater It existed In vaults and tunnels most of it was took to country's that supported them like Portugal and was used to fund there new order
Now to decide whether this means I need to play Assassin's Creed or Crusader Kings II.
Tough Decisions.
Great video mate 😁
That's one way of not paying you debt back
The Military Order of Christ was founded in 1319, with the protection of the Portuguese king, Denis, who refused to pursue and persecute the former Templar knights as had occurred in most of the other sovereign states under the political influence of the Catholic Church. The order was based in The Algarve, at Castro Marim. It was secularised in 1789. These days the Grandmaster is the President of Portugal
Wasn’t the Templar cross red instead of black?
Yes, in the case of the actual Knights. The order was also filled with reservist "sergeants" who did not need to follow the rules of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience and offered auxiliary support to the Knights. The sargeants wore black crosses, while the Knights who had taken the Threefold Oath wore red.
Jen Yen Thanks but History Matters still had the Grand Master of the order with a black cross instead of a red one.
ye I think the German Teutonic knights wore a black cross on white field as their crest.
@@GenkiGanbare Rules of Poverty, while being one of the richest orders ever?
@@XzaroX They used most of their riches to expand.
Gotta love that AE
This is typical binge Chanel, Great way
wow! I read a book a bit about this whole era and the Knight Templar’s were super corrupt in it it seems there’s a bit misrepresented history in our historical narrative in the Knights Templar. I’ll go with your version since that book was from the 1990’s
I wish the templars were still around I would rather take a loan from them than a commercial bank! No interest rates!
@Meat for all are mafia better business partners than the bankers and wallstreet?
@@johnrichardson7310 A lot of these banksters are connected, whether legally or illegally.
This is most likely the real Operation Knightfall
And now, Jacques DeMolay's legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of young adults in the international organization known as DeMolay
I was a part of that for many years. Needless to say, they paint DeMolay as a saint basically. And yeah, you're supposed to question that version, but still... Not an ideal situation, if you ask me.
Heretic freemason's kids.
The real fall of the Templars was due to Ezio and the other assassins

"You had 1 job!" Love that saying.

Nicolas Jaramillo That’s all I expect in the comments
Well King Philip was an ally to the Assassins.
@@DarkKinghtrulz Yeah, in the beginning of AC Unity didnt it show the templars being burned?
ewww dont mention that shit game that keeps ruining all country's history.
Most of them aren’t shit but I do agree they are definitely ahistorical.
The Kingdom of Aragon was very pro-templar. They founded the Orders of Montesa and Calatrava (which still exists) and staffed them with "totally non-templar" knights.
Lol I wasn't watching your videos for the past few weeks because I didn't recognize the new channel name and thought someone was copying your art style.
On the bright side, I have a solid amount of content to get through.
"Philip why the hell did you do that to the templar"
"I like money"
Well to be fair they were charging him like 60% interest, of course you would want to order 66 them.
@@Heisenberg882 well it would solved in different way but.... fuck Phillip and Clement.
I like the unamused expression for the burning at the stake representation.
It’s like Order 66 but in real life. Also love how the purge of the Templars first began on Friday the 13th.
but Friday 13th of what month?
Of course it's like order 66 in real life. They modeled Order 66 after this. And Friday the 13th as well... This is the reason why it's considered a day of bad luck.
i love the bored face of the burning people xD
Please do the USS Pueblo incident
And that was the origin of Friday the 13th being a bad omen. According to Da Vinci Code at least
The Templars also denied Philip IV his request for membership, no? That didn't help their relationship.
@Nogent The refusal still rankled His Majesty.
@Nogent Never said he tried to hide it. If fact, he wrote letter to high chancellor that admitted his peavishness. This and other facts are accepted by historians and biographers alike. There are some wonderful books out here for you to read.
Kind of weird though. Given that as a king, he was expected to keep his line going, I'm not sure why he would have wanted to join an order which whose mandates of chastity would have meant said line was ended.

Wow, wasn't expecting this.Kinda sad the way they were done with the moment they were down and out of need.
They never learned the first rule of medieval times: don't make a lot of enemies.
Hey. In the same vein, what about the question why does Military order of Malta still exist as an entity without land area of their own?
Would be interesting video. And cheers for your brilliant channel here!
Do one on the Teutonic order next.
0:54 is the best “by which I mean” ever
You still gonna make 10 Minute videos?
I'm honestly not really enjoying these shorter videos all that much, I always feel unfulfilled at the end of them, left wanting more.
Andy - same
The thing I dislike most about these short vids is that so much history and details are condensed in the 3(something) minutes, that which remains feels very superficial and overly summarized.
I will play devils advocate and say that I actually don't mind these shorter videos. They're well made, fast paced, fun, and honestly get me more interested in researching some of these topics myself. I of course love the 10 minute videos, they're wonderful, and the main reason I subbed to the chanel, but I also realize that they probably just take a considerably long time to make to the standard that he wants and that we've come to expect.
Now if he stopped making the longer vids all together and just made shorts then we'd have a problem lol
Yea these shorter videos just don’t seem worth my time. 3 minutes or less? Why bother when you can catch up on history on some other channel like oversimplified or others that are quadruple the length.
I like that when Pope Boniface VIII died, you basically used the "hit microphone" sound effect. Classic.
Assassin brotherhood: we did boys the templars are no more
Glad to hear James Bissonett is still at it
ya know what's weird - and by weird, i mean straightforward and logical - that circa 1300, around when the templars were being beleaguered, a bunch of farmers in the mountains between france n italy suddenly formed a very organized nation-state that became renowned for military prowess and advanced techniques to the point of being sought after as mercenaries, as well as international banking and finance - also chocolate n regimented timekeeping … funny place, that switzerland, eh?
So switzerland was not supposed to exist
Switzerland was not a "very organised nation-state". It was a confederacy of peasant and merchant republics that quarrelled between each other a lot. The first confederacy of three Alpine cantons was established in 1291, and the lower city cantons started to join in 1330 (Lucerne) and the 1350s, so nothing really coinciding with anything Templar-related. Also, banking became a major part of the Swiss economy only one or two centuries later.
Some says; in 1789 after French King is executed, somebody said "we got our grandmaster's revenge"
anyone who know the French revolution history would immediatly understand that there is nothing in common between atheists like Robespierre and a catholic monk like Hugues de Payens
Le Capetien it’s an Assassin’s Creed Unity reference
@@thomascatty379 what a reference !
"It is a Good life we lead, brother, may it never change-

**D£U$ VULT*
It is said that de molays last words called for Phillip and clement to join before God for judgement within the year.
Fun fact: they did.
Will you be making any more ten minute ones?
They probably would have died during the plague anyway
Assassins creed players "Even in history, they are not the bad guys"
Well they were religious fanatics. I defenitely wouldn't call them the good guys.
@@kreut5299 The Templars were actually quite chill. They were a major keeper of the peace between crusades and actually handled alot of the inbetween between christian and muslims in the region.
@@invidatauro8922 they didnt keep peace at all. they killed arabs and also spat on crosses. not to mention they worshipped a satanic idol.
I know you do real history but i'd love to see you explain history in the Assassin's creeed universe
for me the introduction of the Templar was from a game called broken sword.
So the whole reason they fall is because some king didn't want to pay his debt
When you owe the army money but instead of paying up you call them heretics and burn them in the name of god
