The great master of the Order of the Templars Jacques de Molay, ascending the fire on March 18, 1314, cursed his executioners - Pope Clement V, King Philip Beautiful, his adviser to Guillaume de Nogare and all their offspring to the thirteenth knee. The first blow of fate - the accusation of the king’s daughter -in -law of infidelity - was not slow to follow. But no one else knows what troubles the future promises to the Iron King
