The Knights Templar were an historical order that existed for about 200 years but were destroyed by their patrons, the Catholic Church, in the early 1300’s. They assisted pilgrims visiting the Holy Land by offering protection and financing and grew powerful and rich, eventually fighting alongside the crusaders with sometimes less than altruistic aims.

L'édition définitive des "Fleurs du Mal" a été publiée en 1868, après la mort de Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). Les premiers recueils furent mal accueillis par la critique. Seuls quelques-uns, dont son ami Barbey d'Aurevilly, défendent la poésie de Charles Baudelaire. Le 5 juillet 1857 parait un violent article du Figaro, qui tout à la fois assure une grande notoriété au poète et le conduit devant les tribunaux. En août 1857, Baudelaire est condamné pour "offense à la morale publique, la morale religieuse et aux bonnes mœurs".
