"Unraveling the Templar Exodus: Exploring the Enigmatic Ties Between Switzerland and Secretive Medieval Orders"

Info

The fate of the Knights Templar after their suppression in the early 14th century has long been a subject of intense speculation and intrigue.

One of the most enduring theories is that a contingent of Templars fled to Switzerland, seeking refuge and a new purpose for their order.

The Templars, a religious-military organization founded in the 12th century to protect Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land, had amassed tremendous wealth and influence over the centuries.

However, their growing power and independence eventually made them targets of resentment and suspicion.

In 1307, the French King Philip IV, heavily in debt to the Templars, orchestrated a coordinated arrest and execution of the order's leadership across Europe.

While many Templars were killed or imprisoned, some may have escaped the purge. - https://switzerlandfocusguide.com/blog/did-templars-flee-to-switzerland/?unique_id_z3zqz6kr
