ABSTRACT

One day during Peter of Montaigu's mastership, the commander of the vault, an official in the Templars' headquarters in Acre, ordered a shipload of grain that he had just bought to be stored in the grain store. In the course of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the headquarters of the Temple and the Hospital became complex institutions. Leadership in the headquarters came, above all, from the Master and a group of high dignitaries: grand commander, marshal, drapier, treasurer and- in the Order of the Hospital-conventual prior and hospitaller. The position that the Masters of the Hospital and the Temple held at the court of Jerusalem by the middle of the twelfth century may be compared to that of powerful barons, and they had to represent their Orders appropriately. By 1302, when the personal entourage of the Hospital's Master numbered about forty, the Order's grand commander and marshal had their own cupbearer and chamberlain.
