It was all over money. The Templars were the defacto bankers of the European royalty. When the King of France couldn’t pay back his loans, he decided to have them trumped up on heresy charges...............

But it was more than just money, either Charles' father or grandfather begged for help from the Knights to battle someone somewhere (I can't remember) and the Knights failed to help him. So for Charles it was also personal.
