initially associated with the persecution
of the Knights Templar by the French Monarchy.
King Philip IV of France, also known as Philip the Fair, loved gold and under-
stood the power it gives a person. He wished not for others to have this power and
he desired as much gold as possible. This craving led him to attack the order of the
Knights Templar.
Philip owed the Templars a lot of gold, and he also wanted the Templar’s vast
wealth, but to take it he required an excuse. So, he invented one. Phillip accused
the Templars of insane beliefs and practices and purposely demonized them. Then
he captured as many as he could and put them on trail. The court system lied and
concurred that the accusations forwarded by Philip were valid. After the Templars
were sentenced, Philip erased his debt and seized their gold.
Some suggest that several Templars, those quick enough to evade Philip’s wrath,
fled to Scotland and assisted that nation defeat the British. In one encounter, the
Templars did nothing more than make their appearance known and the British
turned around and left the battlefield. The Templars were renowned, and feared, for
their combat skills. — Mike Bhangu, Amazon best-selling author

cucumber in his left ear, and a breadstick in his right ear. He says, “Doctor, what is wrong
with me?” The psychiatrist replies, “You are not eating properly.”
