The King complains to the Chief Inquisitor that he has been insulted by the Order of the Templars, and also, in a spirit of revenge, states that the Templars have been guilty of crimes against God and the Church. The matter reaches the Pope, who issues a bull giving King Philip the Fair authority to punish the Templars, if it is true that they have been guilty of such crimes. Jacques Morley, accordingly, is arrested, and being tortured confesses to crimes he has never committed. On these confessions he is condemned to be burned alive. On the eve of his death, Jacques Worlay sends word to the King, saying, "King, before this year is ended the two shall meet in the presence of God Almighty!" Gloomy thoughts beset the King's mind, neither day nor night can he keep out of his consciousness the dying words of his victim, they ring in his ears continually. In order to forget them, the King decides to go off on a hunting trip. But the words follow him; he rides faster and faster in order to get away from them, but without avail; suddenly, his horse stumbles and throws the King, mortally wounding his majesty. The King is overtaken by some noblemen and carried to a nearby castle, and as he lies there dying, the King sees the majestic figure of the dead Morlay calling him to appear before the tribunal of God.
