00:00On March 18, 1314, in Paris, a man was burned alive, leaving behind a curse that has persisted throughout history.
00:08centuries.
00:09His name? Jacques de Molay, last leader of the Knights Templar, one of the most powerful orders of the Middle Ages.
00:18But why was he killed?
00:20King Philip IV of France owed the Templars a great deal of money and decided to dissolve the order.
00:26With the support of Pope Clement V, they accused the knights of heresy and treason.
00:33After years in prison, Molay was sentenced to be burned at the stake.
00:37But before he died, he said, you will be judged by God soon.
00:43And then, the inexplicable happened.
00:47The Pope died weeks later, the king died in the same year, and the dynasty collapsed.
00:53Whether by chance or revenge, that's how the curse of the Templars was born.
