De Molay Did Curse the King and the Pope

There are two versions of the (in)famous curse allegedly uttered by Jacques de Molay, as he was slowly burned at the stake on March 11th 1314. The short – and most common – one is that he cursed just King Philip IV the fair of France and Pope Clement V (two criminals who destroyed the order of Templars), saying that he would meet them before God before the year was out.

The longer version is that de Molay cursed all descendants of the king… and Guillaume de Nogaret. The latter was very strange indeed, because de Nogaret died almost a year earlier.

However, I believe that the longer version is correct – the eyewitness simply misunderstood de Molay – as it was quite noisy near the fire. I think that de Molay did curse all descendants of the king – and said that before the year end the king and the pope will meet Guillaume de Nogaret who died a year earlier.

Which makes complete sense as de Molay – as a martyr – would undoubtedly go to Heaven while the duo of criminals (and thus the servants of the Devil) would meet their third accomplice (and principal conspirator) in Hell.

The curse itself made complete sense as in that situation it was only natural for the last Grand Master (dying a horrible death) to get back at his murderers – let’s call a spade a spade – in the only way he could.

And the curse worked – Pope Clement died only a month later, King Phillip died later that year in a hunting accident. Further, within a short span of years thereafter each of Phillip’s sons died at relatively young ages, resulting in the end of the House of Capet, leading to The Hundred Years’ War.

Consequently, the end result of destruction of the order Templars for the King was a destruction of his dynasty and for France – the most catastrophic disaster in its history.

Did Jacque de Molay invoke the immense power of the Ark (he was undoubtedly one of the 12 “apostles” of Ark Templar religion)? I believe that the Ark did put an end to the House of Capet and ignited to The Hundred Years’ War… however, I am confident that all three murderers were murdered themselves.

Not necessarily by escaped Templars – the list of mortal enemies of any of them is a mile long. They just hid behind Templar debacle – and de Molay curse.

A legend claims that after Louis XVI was guillotined, an anonymous French Freemason rushed from the crowd, dipped his hand in the king’s blood and yelled, “Jacques de Molay, thou art avenged!”. Templars were quite popular among Freemasons (and king was not) so this story is probably true.
