Historical background
The Templars emerged in the early twelfth century and were initially charged with protecting Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land. The order grew into a military and financial institution with property across Europe.
In October 1307, Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of the Templars in his kingdom. Pope Clement V dissolved the order in 1312, and its last grand master, Jacques de Molay, was executed in 1314.
