Geoffroy le Rat

Geoffroy le Rat (died 1207) was the thirteenth grand master of the Knights Hospitaller, serving between 1206–1207.[1] He succeeded the Grand Master Fernando Afonso after his resignation in 1206, and was succeeded by Guérin de Montaigu.[2]

Biography

Geoffroy le Rat did not occupy the position of Grand Master until mid–1206 and the beginning of the second half of 1207. He was of French origin, attached to a family of Touraine.[3]

He had been a commander in the Principality of Antioch and lord of the Krak des Chevaliers before being elected as master.[4]

As the Fourth Crusade was diverted to Constantinople, the Hospitallers did not have a military role at the beginning of the thirteenth century.[5]
