Pope Clemens V. and King Phillip IV. died during the early stages of the Knight´s Templar trials

Instead of the burning of Jacob of Molay in 1313 , the Temple would persits. For how long ? How adaptable was the Temple ? How would the power in Europe be shifted with two of it main players dead ? Could the Temple maintain into the Renaissance and further being part of the Reconquista eventually sailing to the new World ? It certainly would hold onto its large properties in Iberia. How would the Spanish unification be influenced ?

If both of them die, I can see the Templars being accused of having murdered them, bearing in mind the lies and all kinds of madness that Nogaret threw at them.

Nothing would change too much. Once the process had started, the Templars were doomed, at least in France. With luck, you would have the Templars going on as in Portugal or Castille, merging with other orders and surviving, but the Temple, unless they created their own kingdom, as the Teutonic Order, without Jerusalem, were a thing of the past.
