The video explores the origins of Friday the 13th as a day of bad luck, tracing it back to the arrest of the Templars on October 13, 1307. It details the rise of the Templars as a powerful and influential order in medieval Europe, known for their valor and banking innovations. The video then covers their downfall, orchestrated by King Philip IV of France, who accused them of heresy and other crimes.
