For a hundred years, the kings of France kept their treasury in the Paris fortress of the Knights Templar. Then, at dawn on Friday 13 October 1307, a king deep in debt had them arrested across France in a single morning. This is the entire story of the Knights Templar, the bankers of the Crusades, from a handful of knights guarding the pilgrim road to a fire on an island in the Seine, told in order in 2 h 44 min.

Subscribe if you would rather have the whole story than a ten-minute version: Hindsight Report makes complete histories of money, crime and power.

How a brotherhood sworn to own nothing came to hold a fortune across two continents: the Council of Troyes and Bernard of Clairvaux; the estates, the commanderies and the ships that moved money east; the Second Crusade and the king who ran out of money; Hattin and the fall of Jerusalem; the Paris and London Temples as royal treasuries; Louis IX’s ransom on the Nile; the fall of Acre in 1291; Philip IV and the arrests of 1307; the confessions, the defenders and the Chinon parchment, misfiled in the Vatican archives and found in 2001; the Council of Vienne and the end of the order in 1312; the burning of Jacques de Molay in March 1314; where the Templars’ money actually went; and the myths of treasure, Baphomet and the Grail, set against the documents. Contested figures and dates are given as the sources give them, and the historian is named.
