 "NEKAN, ADONAI!! CHOL-BEGOAL!! ... POPE CLEMENT WILLIAM KNIGHT OF KING PHILIP ... Nogaret: INTIMO THEM TO ATTEND THE COURT OF GOD WITHIN ONE YEAR TO RECEIVE THE JUST PUNISHMENT. DAMN! DAMN! DAMN ALL TO THE THIRTEENTH GENERATION OF YOUR RACES! "

Those were the last words that Jacques de Monay, the 22nd and last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, delivered before the flames will bring to life. Lit the fire in the pillory in the back of the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, there he atoned at nightfall on March 18, 1314, against cursing the Pope, the Guard seals king of France and the sovereign himself. And he had every reason to throw the anathema against all three. Seven years earlier, a sordid collusion between King Philip IV, the beautiful, and Pope Clement V, being faithful Nogaret as executor, had sealed his fate.

Until then the order of warrior monks robe of white and red cross was a military and financial colossus. On the night of 12 to 13 October 1307, its facilities, for all parts of the kingdom, they were raided by officers of Philip IV. Even their buildings in Paris called Ville Neuve du Temple.

For supreme infamy knights imprisoned, his final ruling, and have lost everything, were dragged to court for alleged real Nogaret, the lawyer of the king, by the practices of heresy and sodomy.

In a forging process, in which the inquisitorial procedures were applied with the maximum possible cruelty, accused us of being evil pagan worshipers of Baphomet, the spitting on the cross, to deny the sacraments and surrender allowances sex with each other. They tore them the terrible confessions through torture and other torments, when, amid the howls of pain, with the meat butchered and burnt by the wide use of the inquisitors did strappado and the brazier, agreed to tell her what supliciadores they wanted to hear.

Philip the beautiful, fanned by the intrigues of a traitor, a former knight named Esquiseu of Floyran, the Judas of the Templars, not resigned to dismantle them the facilities and confiscate them values, would also dishonor them forever. Therefore, accused them of sodomites. In the extended complaint Monay and other 140 riders put in irons (54 of them expire by fire).
