'''''Pastoralis Praeeminentiae''''' was the name of a [[Papal Bull]] issued by [[Pope Clement V]] on 22 November 1307 to all Christian monarchs. It ordered the arrest of all [[Knights Templar]] and to seize their properties on behalf of the church. Clement was forced to support the campaign against the Templars by [[Philip IV of France]], who owed them a great deal of money and had initiated the first arrests against the Templars on 13 October 1307.<ref>[[Malcolm Barber]], ''The Trial of the Templars''.

Despite the papal request, not all the monarchs complied immediately, most notably, [[Edward II of England]] who at first refused to believe the allegations, but later carried out the order.
Following the arrests, a period of trials was sanctioned against the Templars, enforced by torture and pain-induced confessions.
