They will get their vengeance, in this life or the next.

New International Version
When the LORD began to speak through Hosea, the LORD said to him, "Go, marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the LORD."

>execute order 666

They were rightfully disbanded by a patriotic hero.

>>2439785

they formed a massive transcontinental organization which soon outgrew its primary declared purpose and began to act as a sort of medieval multicorporation, ammasing huge wealth in gold, land, all sorts of possesions and rights

they got into lending money and guaranteeing credits and loans, and they did this in a way that made them a international christian bank, even tho this was technicaly heresy but they did it in ways that got around papal decrees and trough local legal loopholes

they also maintained themselves as a elite fighting force, which basicaly was their basis, so it wast realy like they would put up with much shit or anyone sane seriously considered giving them any shit

so in a way they were a massive supra-statal entity, literaly like you could imagine some cyberpunk corporation that is its own elite army, but at the same time a political entity, a teritorial entity, a economic and especialy financial entity, and a fucking army

all this gave them a fuckhuge load of political and economic, but also religious autonomy

the way the system was set up back in those days of feudal monarchy and papal inffalibility, autonomy was a bad word

so at some given point those who had the men and the means and enough reasons, namely the king of france who owed them a fortune and the pope who didnt have a handle on them any more, decided, in simple medieval logic, to avoid this situation by taking them down, all at once

simple enough, the pope declares them heretics, the king sends troops to capture them, theres a couple of fixed trials and a lot of torture for whatever point, and then you execute the whole fuckload

except then they dont actualy resist arrest, which is weird, and some of them are never found while the majority give in or move on, most of their stash is never ever found, and a lot of them cross over into other 'sanctioned' orders and ranks, and so people spend the next 700 years or so looking for haywagons and ritual cups

More importantly, what happened to all that gold?

>>2440548

mind you most orders were basicaly formed as corporations of sorts

there was a social and a economic aspect to this, namely that the feudal class itself was layered, and often in the same family birthorder decided wether you were high up, midlle clas feudal or just small feudal or a knight with a lended horse

when european feudal armies went on conquest the majority of the spoils the loot the land rights, went directly to the king, then there was a sprinkle effect down to the higher nobles which then maybe repeated the fowour with their own lower vasals

so the average knight that fought killed and bled in those wars usualy got a new horse and a std

the only way for a individual knight to get into the power, wealth, connections and infrastructure that rivaled or surpassed those of kings and lesser feudals was to join a order

power trough collectivism

also, the end activities of the orders are usualy income based in one way or another, mining, farming, maintaining trade routes and pilgrim routes, protecting production of this or that kind, maintaining innns and hospitals, even slave trading, all lucrative busnises

the templars just overdone it and stepped on some wrong feet, but realy its like today some state would declare a corporation illegal and all 60% of former emploeeys just swith to the next firm

its symilar to how chinese dinasties dealt with eunuchs at certain times, or janissaries in the ottoman empire getting put down
