Quote "KNIGHTS TEMPLARS. List of Grand Masters, from the Deatli of Jacques de Molay.
Order was not annihilated either by the bull of Clement V. or the despotism of Philip IV., or the treachery and meanness of Edward II., but is due to the action of De Molay himself, who in anticipation of his fate, A. D. 1313, appointed John Mark Larmeniusas his successor in office. From that time to the present regular and uninterrupted succession of Grand Masters has been maintained, as follows: LIsT OF GRAND MASTERS OF KNIGHTS TEMPLARS, 1313 to 1873.(From Mackey *s Lexicon of Freemasonry.)John Mark Larmenins 1313 Thomas Theobald Alexandrinus; otherwise Francis Thomas Theobald 1324 Arnold de Braque 1340 John de Claremont 1349 Bertrand du Guesclin 1357 John Arminiacus 1381 Bernard Arminiacus 1392 John Arminiacus 1419 John de Croy 1451 Bernard Imbault 1472 Robert Lenoncourt 1478 Galeatius de Salazar 1497 Philip Chabot 1516 Gaspard de Galtiaco Tavanensis 1544 Henry de Montmorency 1574 Charles de Valois 1615 James Ruxellius de Granceio 1651 James Henry, Duc de Duras 1681 Philip, Duke of Orleans 1705 Louis Augustus Bourbon 1724 Louis Henry Bourbon Conde 1737 Louis Francis Bourbon Conty 1741Louis Hercules Timoleon, Due de Cosse Brissac. 1776 Claude M.
