Ad providam was the name of a
Papal Bull issued by
Pope Clement V in
1312. It built on a previous bull,
Vox in excelso, which had disbanded the order of the
Knights Templar.
Ad providam essentially handed over all Templar assets to the
Hospitallers, with the exception of some resources which were left to provide pensions to some Templars who had escaped execution and converted to a monastic life.
