It was indeed because of a massacre,the Knights Templar were virtually wiped out after being accused of heresy. The order went out in secret and when everything was in place they were arrested and tortured into confession of heresy. Had to look at a few things to clear it up but the previous poster had the date right,Oct 13,1307.There are numerous links on the net using the knights templar or the date as searches,basically it seems that alot of it was done to gain the wealth that the Templars had built up over time.Not to mention that some disliked or even outright feared the influence the Templars had built up over time.There are of course other stories and perhaps some of them also have historic links but this is the only definitive one I've seen that could be used.
I got that from this guy name Angel of Death from another question.

Superstigious nonsense.
The number 13 is the number after 12 and nothing more or less.
It is an odd number but not a weird number.
