Scrooge McDuck comic byDon Rosa .Plot
Scrooge McDuck is searching for thecrusader kings ' crown, and theInternational Money Council inParis is after it too. The International Money Council claims to have rightful claim to the crown, as its tradition continues directly from theKnights Templar . The crown became their property onOctober 13 1582 , 100 years after they had lent it to the Spanish and Portuguese kingdoms. However, the Ducks manage to prove that because of the switch to theGregorian calendar , there never was an October 13 1582, and so the crown was never returned to the Knights Templar. At the same time,Donald Duck also proves thatFriday the 13th never happened either. However, the government ofHaiti is recognised as the rightful owner of the crown, as it was found on their property. Scrooge was satisfied by keeping thefabric on which the crown was wrapped in as it is theClan McDuck tartan , [ [http://houseoftartan.co.uk/ House of Tartan: MacDuck.] ] indicating the knights Templar's treasure is located in the castle McDuck.The story continues in "
The Old Castle's Other Secret or A Letter From Home .The story was published in "Uncle Scrooge" #339.
