Hi David,
I thought i would leave a link to the Knight's Templar rule book, it really looks like a boring existence, and smelly!

The date of Friday 13th October 1307 has gone down in history, many think it is where the superstition of Friday 13th came from, however it was the date that many of the Knight's Templar were rounded up to be placed in prison, as shown on link below:-

The legend is that many escaped to Edinburgh with treasure that could be buried in Rosslyn Chapel.
But what really made them choose Edinburgh?
Perhaps the date means more than we know, for using midnight day marker, perhaps the stars favoured the Knight's going there in their beliefs, for both Regulus (Richard the LIONHEART) and Sirius was rising on that day.
It wasn't easy calibrating midnight during that time, clock towers were only just in use, but using local time it was possible to calcalate when the Sun was near the Nadir.
It may have influenced the escaping Knight's Templars on 13th October 1307 to make for Edinburgh for astrological beliefs.....who knows?
