Hi Draugr,
Yes Philip the Fair did start a lot of superstition when he arrested Jacques de Molay on Friday 13th October 1307, please scroll down to "Arrest and Charges" on link below:-

When the knights used it again when they galloped into Washington DC, they made sure it was a Saturday ha ha!
Thus why date of start of construction of the White House is 13th October 1792, link below:-

Midnight day marker was used, obviously Sirius was rising at location, they like aligning Sirius, astronomy graph below:-

I'm seriously doubtful the Templars actually survived the arrests in France, tbh. The ones that got out of the country before they could be arrested for the most part blended in with the others, like the Hospitallers and the Teutonic Knights, because, really, when you joined the Templars, you gave up everything else, so they had nowhere else to go. I especially doubt they became the Free Order of Masons, despite what a lot of people seem to believe. Some of them just...Went home, if they could, or left the country, because England (and Spain, I believe?) at the time were pretty much , "LOL K cool story bro" at Phillip's little hissyfit.
Well, I say little hissyfit, but many, many Templars were tortured horrifically and put to death because of it. But. You know.
And that's not including the Knights themselves. They had squires and other assorted members that probably just...Faded back into the populace as best they could. Personally, I refuse to believe they had any part in history after that unless there's some more solid evidence.
