friday the 13th is known to be unlucky as it is the date in 1309 when phillippe de belle (the fair) after two succesful assasinations of the pope installed someone he could manipulate and not wanting to pay the debt he owed to the templars and claim some of their land and vast wealth had the pope send messages to all kings of the christian states that were not to be opened until 12 noon on friday the 13th with instructions to immediatly arrest all knights templar and seize their lands and property the only king to refuse was the king of scotland.

We do know that he was killed before the sabbath approached. We know that the sabbath was the 7th day which started from Friday evening to Saturday evening. So we know he was being killed Friday morning.
