Origins. At dawn on Friday the 13th in October, 1307 King Philippe IV of France had every last Knights Templar arrested, imprisoned and eventually put to death. (Or so he thought.) Philippe confiscated the Templars land and whatever treasure he could locate. You see King Philippe and his Kingdom were broke and he needed the Templars land and money to survive. Since 1307, Friday the 13th has been known to be a very unlucky day dispite the efforts of the Roman Catholic Church to bury the origins of this day in history.
