Summary
From studying the Order's sources I was able to draw up a list of brothers serving in the Latin East and the French priories for the period 1187–1274. However, although these findings are crucial for an understanding of the ways the Order made use of its human resources, these lists, due to gaps in the sources, are not comprehensive. They only include those brothers whose names I encountered in the documents and for whom we have clear identification. This means that brothers whose f irst name only survived are not included.
I have divided these findings according to the brothers' places of service and have therefore compiled four lists: brothers serving in the Latin East; and in the priories of France, St. Gilles, and Auvergne. I have argued above that most of the brothers did not serve in the East but in commanderies and priories in Europe. It is worth mentioning that the discrepancy in the number of brothers serving in different priories in France is not necessarily the result of a specific policy of recruitment conducted by the Order at the time, but ref lects the number of sources which have survived.
An attempt has been made to trace the brothers' places of origin according to their toponyms. If found, the place is given next to their names (for ‘French’ brothers according to the departmental division of modern France).
