Question 1. On what date did King Philip IV begin the mass arrest of the Knights Templar? Answer.

Friday, October 13th, 1307. King Philip IV ordered the sudden arrest of the Knights Templar across France on Friday, October 13th, 1307.

The episode's notoriety helped link the date with bad luck and popular imagination even centuries later.

Question 2. What is the term for fear of Friday the 13th? Answer. Parascavitacatriaphobia?

Parascavitacatriaphobia combines Greek roots. Paraskevy, Friday, Decatria, 13, and Phobia, fear.

It's a specialized offshoot of Trascavitacaphobia, the more general fear of the number 13.

Question 3. What's the maximum number of Friday the 13th Thieves in one year? Answer.

Three. A year can have up to three. Friday the 13th Thieves, depending on how months align.

Any month that begins on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th, and certain year layouts allow this to happen three times.

Question 4. Which Norse trickster was the 13th guest linked to Baldur's death? Answer. Loki.

Loki turned up as the unwanted 13th guest, manipulating the blind god Hodor to kill Baldur with a mistletoe dart.

The tale is commonly cited as a folkloric root of the number 13's ill fortune.

Question 5. What day date is unlucky in Spain and much of Latin America? Answer. Tuesday the 13th.

Known as Marta's 13th, the superstition associates Tuesday with Mars, Marta's, the planet and Roman god, linked to war and misfortune.

As a result, Tuesday the 13th, not Friday, is the date to avoid.

That concludes today's five daily trivia questions. I'm Mark Ellison.

And today's questions were crafted with the help of AI technology. See you tomorrow.

An aging king on the throne, a crown princess pulled back into global headlines over her past links to Jeffrey Epstein.
