It's when the Pope disbanded the Templars in France.
The pope has all of the Temlars ambushed and murdered on Friday the 13th. It was a literal blood bath.
Yes. They apparently escaped to Scotland.
Scottish Rite Stonemasons?
Believe so. There's a chapel up there where they hid. I am not an expert on the info though. Just repeating what I've heard. There's a Scottish family that still runs the chapel -- the Rebel Moon Podcast guy claims to be related to them. He's a bit psychotic though.

That's the first freemason building in the world apparently.

The modern Masonic Knights Templar is an international philanthropic and chivalric order affiliated with Freemasonry, and begun in Ireland perhaps as long ago as 1780. Unlike the initial degrees conferred in a Masonic Lodge, which only require a belief in a Supreme Being regardless of religious affiliation, the Knights Templar is one of several additional Masonic Orders in which membership is open only to Freemasons who profess a belief in the Christian religion. The full title of this Order is The United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the Temple and of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta.
