Why did King Philip the Fair of France attack the Order of the Temple ? A New Covenant

Pourquoi le roi de France Philippe le Bel a-t-il attaqué l’ordre du Temple ? Une Nouvelle Alliance

Résumé

The affair of the Templars has most often been considered in ways whose logic derive from the indictment of the Order by the King of France. Thus historians have mainly focused on the elements in the history of the Templars that could account for their final arrest and trial. However, the reasons for the trial, which have always remained obscure, are better understood if attention is focused not on the Order, as is always the case in historiography, but rather on its accusers, on their actions and on their justifications as they are explicitly stated or can be analysed in the documents. The present article offers a synthesis of a new interpretation. Three causes emerge, all of which were indispensable but none of which would have been sufficient, without the other two, to determine the Capetian’s attack on the Templars. First, the paroxysmal crisis in relations between the French royalty and the Roman Church that began a few years before the Temple affair, whose culmination and final stage the affair represented. Second, the political strategy and personal interests of Philip the Fair’s main adviser on ecclesiastical matters, Guillaume de Nogaret. Finally, the political and mystical significance of accusations of heresy against an Order that was believed to have been founded on the very site of Solomon’s Temple and that had been surrounded by an eschatological aura since its origins.
