The Unlucky Knight of Friday the 13th
Manage episode 388034003 series 3534780
The myths and legends of the Knights Templar goes back almost a century. At their peak of power, these glorious and brave heroes escorted pilgrims through the Holy Land while also protecting their territories in the Crusades. They were rich and above any law, making them the ultimate celebrity of 13th century Europe. King Phillip IV got caught up in some bad debt with the Knights, though, and his only way to financial freedom was arresting, torturing, and burning thousands of members. In another 'mass execution' style episode, Elizabeth and Megan take on the epic story of that fatal night on Friday the 13th, 1307.
