the jesuits (crypto templars) plotted revenge against the french monarchy (and the papacy) for the torture and burning of their grand master, de molay.

He also got involved in a plot against Louis XIV, but the conspirators were caught before they could execute their plans, the establishment of a republic in Normandy. Franciscus van den Enden was condemned to death and on 27 November 1674, after the decapitation of the noble conspirators, he was hanged before the Bastille.

coincidental or not, the fall of the bastille was the pivotal point of the french revolution - it provided arms to the rebels.
