Philip the Forth was enjoying a glass of wine at his Castle when he noticed an Army moving down the road in the distance , where is my Army going he asked a Lackey I haven't ordered any movement ? the Lackey replied , Sire that isn't your Army , the King said what the hell do you mean that isn't my Army this is France isn't it and I'm the King aren't I , yes said the Lackey but that Army are the knights Templar and they owe allegiances to the Pope , ah the Templars said the King that bunch of blood suckers loaned me money at ridicules interest rates and the Pope is a fool , I'll take care of this said the King .

This is an effort to try and put a little / some life into this forum plus present a little intelligence to the masses who wonder WHAT happen to the Knights Templar , Philip 1V took exception to fact that there was an Army in his Kingdom that owed no allegiance to him , Much like a congress and President that owe no allegiance to the electorate .

Having a few quiet ales with Mr Google and Mr Wiki I think.
Anyway, who cares about some ancient frog king in a country too far east to worry about?. The poms will look after them.

The moral of the story is who owes allegiance to who , I tried to keep this simple for SJ and swampy but obviously even in child's form it was above their unlettered minds .
