38. The Curse of the Templars
“Pope Clement, iniquitous judge and cruel executioner, I adjure you to appear in forty days’ time before God’s tribunal. and you, King of France, will not live to see the end of this year, and Heaven’s retribution will strike down your accomplices and destroy your posterity.”
Jaques de Molay, 1314 from The Seven ages of Paris, Alistaire Horne.
