The Knights Templars.

were conducted to separate prisons , according to command . The number of Templars arrested in France is not known ; but , from the immense possessions the Order had in that country , it must have been large * Twenty-eight are known to

have been arrested in Normandy , thirteen at Caen , ten at Pont-de-1 'Arche , five at Bayeux , three at Troyes , twelve in Languedoc ( of whom six were at Carcassone and as many at Beaucaire ) , seven at Oahors , and eleven at Bigore . No particulars

have come down of the arrests in other provinces , but there can be little doubt of their being numerous , especially iu Burgundy , were the Order was held iu peculiar favour by the Dukes . The Templars being arrested , their goods were seized , and commissioners appointed to take charge of them .

The Preceptory of Caen was entrusted to Hugo de Chatel and Walter de Boisgilon , two principal lords . These appointed as their deputies in the management , William de Eoutenoy and Robert de la Planque de Tornebus .

In L'Isle-de-Prauce , the commissioners of the King occupied all the houses ofthe Order , secured all the furnishings and other effects therein , and ordered all the revenues to be paid to them . Inventories were prepared , and the farmers and

planters instructed to forward the fruits and produce to the commissoners for the King ' s behoof . They , however , never accounted for these , but enriched themselves at the expense of the Order , evidently with the cognisance of the King , Avhose chief aim was to prevent anything from reaching the Pope .

The list subjoined of the names of the hundred and forty Templars arrested at Paris is interesting , from embracing those of the greatest families in Prance at the time , and whose representatives were among the noblesse of the Court before the

terrible Revolution came , and the guillotine extinguished for ever the blood of the bravest soldiers Avhich Prance had given to the Crusades . A mong them were scions of the great houses , ' of Montmorency , De Hanget , De Lonqueval , De Raineval Du Plessis , and De Hondelot . The names of the

prisoners were : — 1 , John de Fouley . 2 , Reiner de 1 'Archant . 3 , Renaud de Tremblay . 4 , Guy , Prince Dauphin , Grand Prior of Normandy . 5 , John de Nivelle . 6 , Peter de TourtaviUe , a serving Brother . 7 , Jlatthew de Bosc Adhemar . 8 , John de Tourtaville . 9 , Ferry de Rheims . 10 , John de Sainfc-Loup . 11 , Theobald de Bauffremont . 12 , William de Giac , a serving Brother . 13 ,
