GERARD (c. 1040-1120)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 764 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GEO-GNU
GERARD (c. 1040-1120) , variously surnamed Tura, TUNc, TENQUE or THOM, founder of the order of the knights of St John of Jerusalem (q.v.), was
born
  at
Amalfi
  about the year 1040. According to other accounts
Martigues
  in
Provence
  was his birthplace, while one authority even names the Chateau d'Avesnes in
Hainaut
 . Either as a soldier or a
merchant
 , he found his way to Jerusalem, where a
hospice
  had for some time existed for the convenience of those who wished to visit the holy places. Of this institution
Gerard
  became guardian or provost at a date not later than Iroo; and here he organized that religious order of St John which received papal recognition from
Paschal
  II. in 1113, by a
bull
  which was renewed and confirmed by Calixtus II. shortly before the death of
Gerard
  in 1120.
