HI everyone. In case you are wondering Friday the 13th was when King Philip of France arrested all the Knights of the Temple Mount, and seized their lands and goods. The Templars did not resist except for a certain group that got away with the "Treasure" (read "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" if you don't know what I am talking about). What I want to know is what would have likely happened if Templars everywhere rose up against France and Pope Clement V. What would happen if the Templars hurled the accusations right back at Philip and Clement and went Crusader on them. Would France have been able to repel them? Would other countries pick sides and this become World War I Crusader style? WOuld King Edward have abandoned Scotland and invaded France instead? Or would he help France against the Templars. What about the Holy Roman Empire? Hell, what about the rest of the Christian world. Could the Templars have set up a theocracy, like on Vatican Island?
