Oh no, old Masonic history, is a fave of mine, they were a strong force in the Middle East and Europe at that time, but had problems with the church because they would not allow they to take charge of it , or lend monies to at time which I believe was the Problem with the King of France at that time...
Tha Masons are very modern compared to the Poor Kinights, and yes, although Phillip IV "the beautifull" owed money to the order, it wasn't a big quantity.
As far as my studies have told me my conclusion was that Phillip wanted a big unification of France and just couldn't endure the fact that there was a big army in his lands that didn't followed their orders, in fact, as the Militia Dei (army of God) they only answered to the Pope.
The definitory factor was that the current Pope not only resided in Avignon (France) instead of Rome, but it was a Phillip's puppet so he didn't found any problem to call them heretics. The confessions obtained by torture did the trick.
Still, that only happened in France for in Spain they where absorbed bt the Order of the Hospitalary Knights; in Portugal they just changed they name to the Orded Of Jesus Christ and others remained as monks or mercenaries, the later offering their services to the christian kings.

One of the herecy accusations was that they worshipped a head called Baphomet, still I refuse to believe that for there are no evidence and the "confessions" are very contradictory by themselves.
De Molay cursed Phillip while in the pire, there are a lot of versions of what he says, one is "Pope Clemente! Sir Guillermo! King Phillip! You all will be judged in God's tribunal before a year passes , and you'll receive your righteous punishment!"
The Pope was killed by accident by his doctors (swallowing emerald blisters isn't a good idea), Guillermo was hanged and Phillip had an accident while hunting that caused him some brain damage that killed him. It was all before a year passed.

Maybe, maybe not, I hold the title of Baron of Intra, now a city on the north of Italy, not a big deal now, but then I would have been a feudal lord, still with my luck, I would have ended with a silly arrow hitting me, that getting infected and finally dying due fever ^^U
