lack mantle. The knights of the order wore a white mantle embroi- dered with a red cross. Their white-and-black chequered banner is called a beaseant, which was also their battle cry. Knights became the "servants and slaves" of the temple. The American masonic leader Albert Pike (1809-1891) wrote the following about the Knights Templar in his book "Morals and Dogma" (Charleston, 1871): "Like all secret societies, the Knights Templar had two different doctrines, one secret and exclusively for the leaders, the other public." In 1252, the Grand Master Raynard de Vichiers challenged King Henry III of England (1216-1272) by claiming that the Order of the Knights Templar had acquired the power to dethrone certain undesirable kings. In Lyon in 1296, a suggestion was made that the Order of the Knights Templar and the Order of St. John should be united. The Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, opposed this suggestion. Philip IV Strikes Back The Knights Templar, who were arrogant and had a military force superior to his own, irritated Philip IV, also known as Philip the Fair (1285-1304). Neither the pope nor he himself had any control over them. Philip owed them a lot of money. He also wanted to be admitted as a member of the order but was rejected. After this, he wished to dispose of the Knights Templar. His predecessor Louis VII (1137-1180) had, however, been a member of the order. In 1303, Philip arranged for Pope Boniface VIII to be kidnapped and killed. After this, Pope Benedict XI was poisoned. In 1305, Philip managed to arrange the election of his own candidate, Bernard de Goth, Archbishop of Bordeaux, to the papal seat. The new pope took the name Clement V. He moved from Rome to Avignon and thereby caused a schism in the Catholic Church for the next 68 years. 41

In 1306, Philip the Fair had the Jews in France arrested, their assets confiscated and they were banished "forever". The reason behind this action was to cut off the Knights Templar's secret money transfers. He also wished to clamp down on the Jewish money- lenders in the Lombardy. The banishment was revoked in the year following his death (1315), but the royal family was to bitterly regret this action. The creditors once more made themselves an impossible nuisance with their usury and a few years later they were expelled again. There followed a history of unpleasant experiences. In 1187, the twenty-two year old Philip August (1180-1223), who had assumed power in 1180, when he was just 15 years old, decided to banish the Jews from France, confiscate part of their wealth and cancel the debts of their loan-takers. But a few decades later, there were once again Jews all over the country. During the summer of 1307, a group of leading Knights Templar were on an important mission in southern France near Rennes-le- Chateau by the old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela. They avoided the local populace, which was very unusual. The Knights Templar had an important stronghold in Bezu, not far from Rennes- le-Chateau, and two castles situated on top of two mountains. The castle at Gisors was the headquarters of the Knights Templar in France. The headquarters of the Prieure de Sion was later, in the 17 th century, situated in Rennes-le-Chateau. During the spring of 1307, a prisoner who was condemned to death wished to give the king some crucial information, which he had come across when he had shared a cell with a Knight Templar. The condemned man sought a pardon in exchange for the information. He was permitted to see the king. The king considered the prisoner's information about the atrocities committed by the Knights Templar so serious that the man was pardoned. The king had been told of how a figurine representing him had been stabbed repeatedly during the black magic rites of the Knights Templar. Sexual perversion had also been in evident. The Knights Templar had sacrificed children and 42
