the Knights templars probably had some crypto jew members considering their apparent connection to banking and freemasonry .And they were taken out , at the same time that the jews were expelled. The King seemed to have thought so too considering he had Jacques de Molay executed in the island called Île aux Juifs (literally translated as "Island of the jews")
The French king wanted money, and he used torture to gain false confessions. In every other country where arrests were made the Templars confessed their innocence, and even in France when Papal authorities questions the imprisoned Knights virtually all of them went back on their confessions. There was a Papal Schism at the time so the Pope was weak and under the influence of the King of France, so ultimately he had to go along with the Templar persecution despite it being very flimsy evidence. There were basically no executions outside of France, only house arrests and members being allowed to swap membership to a different order. There's a lot to say about the Templars but all the conspiracy stuff about their secret beliefs and the grail and so on is just made up fantasy.
Nahhhh I played Assassin's Creed Unity I think I know what I'm talking about buddy
Considering the Freemasonry (who were largely responsible for the proto communist French revolution) seemed to be on the side of the Templers, i'm inclined to believe that they were the bad guys. Especially since they were bankers.
Those Freemasons claiming some Templar legacy were just LARPers making shit up to look cooler than they were, the real successors to the Templars (as in, they were literally just OG Templars with a rebrand and a smaller white cross slapped on top of their original red one) were the Portuguese Order of Christ. These guys were actually pretty cool and I have never read about them being up to any subversive shenanigans in the vein of the Jesuits or Freemasons, instead they were mostly involved in the early Portuguese colonial ventures under Prince Henry the Navigator & Vasco da Gama (both explorers were members of the order, Prince Henry was even their Grandmaster) or in fighting Muslims in Morocco.
