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




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.
He had been a commander in the Principality of Antioch and lord of the Krak des Chevaliers before being elected as master.
As the Fourth Crusade was diverted to Constantinople, the Hospitallers did not have a military role at the beginning of the thirteenth century.
