The Templar Plan for Total Victory in the Crusades

Real Crusades History #161. And don't forget the Real Crusades History website!

Toward the end of the thirteenth century, the popes wanted to determine what had gone so wrong with Saint Louis IX's crusades, and what could be done differently to achieve total victory against the Mamelukes. Pope Clement V discussed the possibility of a new crusade with the Grand Master of the Knights Templar: Jacques de Molay. Jacques laid out for the Pope a comprehensive plan for achieving total victory against the Mamelukes in the east.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
