Renaud de Vichiers

Renaud de Vichiers was the 19th Grand Master of the Knights Templar, from 1250 to 1256.

He was a supporter and comrade-in-arms of Louis IX of France, who helped him be elected Master. He shortly quarrelled with Louis, though, over a diplomatic mission of Hugues de Jouy, the Templar Marshal, to Damascus. In 1252 Hugues was banished from the Kingdom of Jerusalem.^[1]
