About Geoffrey

Geoffrey was a 12th-century Latin churchman in the Kingdom of Jerusalem who served as the abbot of the Temple of the Lord from 1137/8 to sometime between 1160 and 1166. He probably came from France, becoming prior and then the first abbot of the Temple, the reconstruction of which finished during his tenure. He became a confidant of King Fulk, Queen Melisende, and King Baldwin III. Because he spoke Greek, he was sent on sensitive diplomatic missions to Byzantine emperors in 1142 and 1158/9.
