"All through the night the deceased would stand
wake by her friends and family at the cathedral, for the burial had been
scheduled for the afternoon of the next day. Darkness had fallen when Jacques
de Molay embraced Charles de Valois, the tearful husband, who seemed to be
prostrated by the unexpected tragedy. After expressing him some words of
consolation, the Temple Grandmaster went to the King of France to express him
his condolences as well, for himself and in the name of all his Order. He never
found him in the nave, though, and began to seek for him in the several side
chapels and transepts built around Notre-Dame. He walked the Cathedral up and
down for some time after him, but the French King seemed to have mysteriously
vanished. Finally, Jacques de Molay heard his voice coming from a dependency of
the vestry. He was talking with Guillaume de Nogaret, one of his most
despicable ministers and this secret conversation gave forth the feeling that
they had both searched for the isolation of that lonely chamber to conspire at
will. After hearing one of them mention his own name, the Grandmaster hid
behind a fluted pillar better to eavesdrop what they were scheming. The king
was sitting on a wooden pew placed against the stone wall, while his minister
stood before him, expectantly wringing his hands.
‘It is decided, then,’ said Nogaret. ‘We cannot
lose any more time!’
‘I can’t wait to grab the Knights Templar’s treasure any longer…’
replied the king, a lascivious glint on his eyes.
‘Early in the morning,’ affirmed Nogaret, ‘I
shall send a regiment of the Royal Guards to break into the Temple and
confiscate all the Order’s assets! Rest
assured, my king, my friend, they will dearly pay for their crimes!’
‘Nonetheless, I demand that every last one of
them be arrested!’ joined the king. ‘I want the end of that accursed
brotherhood after all the evil it brought upon France!...’
Listening to those words, Jacques de Molay felt
a deep pang in his heart and was preyed upon by outright despair. Losing no
more time, he went for some Knights Templar who were stationed as a cavalry
guard outside the Cathedral mounting their coursers.
‘Get back at once to the Temple and tell Gilles
de Sens to fetch all the treasure of our Order, the books, and every document
to the harbor of La Rochelle, where several of our ships are anchored,’ he
commanded. ‘This iniquitous king decided to steal everything, arrest all
Knights Templar, and destroy our Brotherhood. At the same time, messengers
should ride to our fortresses all over Europe telling our brethren everywhere
to proceed likewise. As soon as the cargo is completely placed into the ships
these are to set sail from La Rochelle with the uttermost urgency! Kill all horses from exhaustion on the several
roads that might be necessary, but this evil tiding must reach every last one
of our strongholds as early as possible. As soon as I can disengaged myself
from the burial trappings, I’ll ride to the Temple myself to decide on the
place our embarkations should take the treasure of our holy Order,’ he
finished. ‘Go now! May God have mercy on us!...’"
