The Knights Templar are a western order of knights. They were monks and warriors, but then they became financiers, bankers and safely made their way behind the scenes. Templars and Freemasons. Are they related or not?
The Templars were the ones who set up the world banking system. Even the English monarch's crown was in their coffers. Whole countries like Portugal were ruled by Templar kings. Why did Philip the Beautiful manage to defeat this order? Perhaps it was all pre-planned? And the untold treasure of the knights flowed through the king's fingers like sand. Where were the treasure ships that had been transported from Paris to La Rochelle earlier? It is said that it was almost to America, and some believe that this country was Scotland, the birthplace of Freemasonry and the birthplace of the Enlightenment.
