I always thought Friday the 13th was considered unlucky or a doomed day because it was Friday 13 October 1307 when King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V turned on the Knights Templar and ordered them all arrested for false crimes. The Templar's properties and assets including all foreign holdings (Templar's were considered the first "international bank") were stolen by the King. Most Knights ended up being tortured, dismembered, executed and/or burned at the stake.
Great day for a machete rampage IMO
