The History Behind Our Namesake

The namesake of the Order of DeMolay was born in Vitrey, Department of Haute Saone, France in the year 1244. At the age of 21, DeMolay joined the Order of Knights Templar.

The Knights Templar was an organization sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church in 1128 to guard the road between Jerusalem and Acre, an important port city on the Mediterranean Sea. The Order of Knights Templar participated in the Crusades and earned a name for valor and heroism.

With many nobles and princes sending their sons to join the Knights Templar, the Order also became very wealthy and popular throughout Europe.

In 1298, Jacques DeMolay was named Grand Master of the Knights Templar, a position of power and prestige. As Grand Master however, Jacques DeMolay was also in a difficult position. The Crusades were not achieving their goals. The non-Christian Saracens defeated the Crusaders in battle and captured many vital cities and posts. The Knights Templar and the Hospitalers (another Order of Knights) were the only groups remaining to confront the Saracens.

At this spot Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Order of the Temple, was burnt [at the steak] on the 18th of March 1314.

According to historical records, Jacques de Molay was born in 1244 in northeastern France. The exact place and date is unknown and 1244 is even debated at times. It is said the he was born in an area today called Vitrey, Department de Haute-SaÃ´ne, the small village of MÃ´lay in Bourgogne (100 miles northwest of Haute-SaÃ´ne, current population is 120), BesanÃ§on (in Haute-SaÃ´ne), and Rahon, Jura (halfway between Haute-SaÃ´ne and Bourgogne). They're all within about a hundred mile area though. He is also referred to as James of Molay, Jacobus Burgundus Molensis, Jacques DeMolay, de Molai, and de Melaye. From what we know he was born of noble blood but was very poor. Little of his childhood is known except that the neighborhood he lived in had a Commandery of the Knights Templar. He, or his family was probably raised in a village called MÃ´lay, that would have been considered their home, but we have no way of knowing whether the modern day MÃ´lay i
