Clement V at the burning of Jacques de Molay
Pope Clement V (c. 1264 – 20 April 1314), born Raymond Bertrand de Got, was a French prelate and later Pope from 1305 until his death. He was also the first of the so-called Avignon Popes.
A pawn of the Assassins and Philip IV of France, Clement came to power after Benedict XI was poisoned by the Assassin Mentor Guillaume de Nogaret. Under influence of de Nogaret and the Assassins, Philip and Clement colloborated to disband the Order of the Knights Templar after they had been falsely accused of heresy. In 1312, Clement officially disbanded the Knights Templar and gifted all of its assets to the Knights Hospitalier in his papal bull, Vox in excelso.
In 1308 however, Clement wrote a document which absolved Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay of all charges. In order to ensure that their plan to destroy the Templars continued, the Assassins stole the document, which would only by re-discovered in 2001.
After a seven year trial, Clement was present during the burning of Jacques de Molay in 1314. His papacy was heavily controlled by the French crown, as evidenced by the moving of the Holy See in France, from Rome to Avignon, where seven popes reigned until the Holy See returned to Rome in 1377.
