Templar's Curse and Prophecy

Templar's Curse and Prophecy

In the 12th century AD, the Knights Templar, a powerful organization in Europe, amassed wealth during the Crusades and were rumored to have found King Solomon's lost treasure. Jacques de Molay, who became the order's leader in 1292, faced betrayal by King Philip IV of France, leading to the Templars' downfall. Before his execution in 1314, de Molay cursed his enemies, prophesying the deaths of Pope Clement V and King Philip IV within a year and the erasure of Philip's line, which unfolded with the deaths of both leaders and their descendants by 1328.
