In conclusion, the fascination with Templar swords and their historical origins continues to captivate many enthusiasts today. Those who inquire about these swords, hoping to possess a relic from the Middle Ages, often find themselves discovering the reality of fraternal Knights Templar swords or “society swords.” While not authentic artifacts from the crusades, these fraternal swords hold their own significance as symbols of honor and tradition among various fraternal organizations. On March 18, 1314, Jacques de Molay and a few other Templars, after enduring torture and many other humiliations, were sent to death. De Molay was an old man, tired with life and proud of his achievements. He knew that the tragedy which touched his brothers and himself was the result of schemes. He was also aware that the king of France had decided to torture and finally execute innocent people - the loyal knights of France. Thus, when he was dying he cursed everyone who recommended his murder.a b c d Wolf, Mike (January 1997). "Circle of Blood". PC Gamer. Future Publishing.
