I know this is a pretty niche topic and not likely to get many views, but i love these little biographical histories. We often forget history is full of real life people who walked, loved, and fought to forge that history. Particularly these lesser known people. Few people will see on a test "Name the 15th Grand Master of the Templars", but he is no less important. You don't become a grand master without being an impressive person and without having a story to tell. (I'm fascinated to hear more about his life. and the idea that the Templars and Hospitlars were both led two brothers. What were the odds? What does that say of them? That had to be interesting.)
