Philippe de Marigny
Philippe Le Portier de Marigny (c. 1260 – December 1316) was the Archbishop of Sens and an important figure in the trials against the Knights Templar during the early 14th century.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Loyal to King Philip IV of France, Marigny, along with the Assassin Mentor[1] Guillaume de Nogaret and William of Paris, tortured Grand Master Jacques de Molay, forcing him to admit to heresy.[2]
During the French Revolution, Marigny's descendant, Bertrand Grimany, who used an anagram of the Marigny name as a precaution against those seeking to avenge the Templars, revealed his true heritage to a Parisian newspaper. Shortly afterwards, he was murdered by Anne de Molay, a descendant of Jacques de Molay.[2]
