播音员：我讲述了圣殿骑士团从一个旨在保护前往圣地朝圣者的组织，到成为中世纪最强大势力之一，最终因权力斗争和政治阴谋而走向覆灭的完整故事。他们的兴起始于第一次十字军东征后，他们凭借保护朝圣者的使命赢得了声望和财富，并获得了教皇的诸多特权，例如战争掠夺品归骑士团所有，直接向教皇负责，免除税收等等。这些特权使他们能够发展成为一个跨国公司，拥有大量的土地、城堡、教堂等，并从事各种商业活动，甚至向国王贷款并收取利息。然而，在13世纪末到14世纪初，随着他们在中东的势力衰退以及与法国国王腓力四世的冲突，他们最终被指控犯下各种罪行，并被解散。他们的团长雅克·德·莫莱和其他骑士被处死，他们的财富被没收，标志着这个曾经辉煌的组织的彻底终结。圣殿骑士团的兴衰故事，体现了权力、财富和政治阴谋的复杂交织，也成为了一个引人入胜的历史传奇。

Shownotes Transcript

In the early 12th century, a military monastic order developed in the Middle East with the express intent of protecting Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.

Despite its rather modest mission statement, over the next 200 years, this organization became one of the most powerful entities throughout the Middle East and Europe. 

However, its success and power eventually planted the seeds of its own destruction.

Learn more about the Knights Templar, their rise and spectacular fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
