The King of France trumped up charges against the Knights Templar, to get out of his debts.

Still, they way they were treated was just wrong, and the Church, at the time, should have done more.
“Friday the 13th” is the day the Templars were first arrested, by the King of France.

So now we know. The pope ordered the king of France to extrminated the Templars for their money and the shroud
I has already been done.
