  General Notes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Sabl%C3%A9



Sablé was lucky to have been Grand Master at all, as at the time of Gerard de Ridefort's death, he was not even a member of the Templar Order. However, the senior knights had become increasingly opposed to Masters fighting on the front line, and the capture and beheading of Grand Master Gerard de Ridefort became the final straw. They delayed elections for over a year so that the rules regarding active service of Grand Masters could be reviewed. During this hiatus, Sablé did join the order, just in time to be considered for election. When he was made Grand Master, he had been a Templar knight for less than a year.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Acceded: Grand Master of the Knights Templar, 1191. was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar from 1191 to 1193

• Acceded: Lord of Cyprus, 1191. Lord of Cyprus from 1191 to 1192

Robert married Clemence de Mayenne [64220] [MRIN: 551618892]. (Clemence de Mayenne [64220] died before 1209.)
