The Master of England and the Master of Germany were reserved for papal judgment. The bull Faciens misericordiam, addressed to Germany, contained no command to assemble provincial councils (Harduin. VII. 1353).
In spite of all that had occurred, this bull seems to have taken the public by surprise outside of France. Walter of Hemingford calls it “bullam horribilem contra Templarios” (Chron. Ed. 1849, II. 279).

Other Templars subsequently offered to defend the Order, making five hundred and seventy-three up to May 2.
