History
War of the Austrian Succession
The Austrian Rite was assisted during the War of the Austrian Succession, Haytham Kenway assassinated an Austrian prince to protect the interests of the Templars, and later aided the British Army under Edward Braddock's command at Bergen op Zoom.[1]
Austro-Turkish War
During the Austro-Turkish War, the Austrian Rite supported the Parisian Templar, Chrétien Lafrenière, having sent Templars and given finical support to the moderates of the Parisian Rite in Paris during the French Revolution. They helped Lafrenière preparing the attack on the Hôtel de Beauvais, it served as a meeting place for the Jacobin Club during the French Revolution. And it was a meeting place for a radical faction of the Templar Order led by Grand Master François-Thomas Germain. However the plan was thwarted by the Assassin Arno Dorian under the manipulation of Germain, who made Arno think Lafrenière was responsible for the murder of Grand Master François de la Serre. Afterwords other members of the Austrian Rite was present at Lafrenière's meeting with all his other Templar allies across Europe, where Lafrenière was killed by Arno.[2] The British Templar Frederick Weatherall asked for support by various Rites all over the world to support Élise de la Serre, however Weatherall only received sympathy but not support.[3]
