Very true. It was on Friday the 13th (October 13, 1307) that the Knights Templar were arrested and charged with heresy, witchcraft, and other assorted things by Philip IV of France and his personal puppet, Pope Clement V. Legend says that when Jauques de Molay was burned at the stake, he cursed both Pope Clement V and Philip IV (AKA Philip The Fair) and invited the both of them to meet him in heaven to face God for their accusations. Within a year of Jaques de Molay being executed, both men died.
