"William of Paris (inquisitor)"@en . . . . . . . . . . "William of Paris, the confessor of Philip IV of France, was made inquisitor of France in 1305, and began a campaign against the Templars in 1307. The arrest of the Templars led to Pope Clement V to suspend William's powers after a complaint from Edward II of England, but King Phillip's \"bold and comtemptuous\" written reply caused the Pope to back down and re-instate William. In 1310 he presided over the trial of Marguerite Porete."@en .
