Guillaume de Gisors

Guillaume de Gisors (1219–1307) was a Norman lord and knight.[1][2] He was the son of Hugues III de Gisors and grandson of Jean de Gisors.

Life

A 1256 document identifies him as the Lord of Gisors.[1] He had fiefdom over Meulan.[2] He received fief from Matthew II of Montmorency.[2]

He presented a candidate for the cure of Saint-Éloi-près-Bézu to Eudes Rigaud, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Rouen.[1]

In conspiracy theories, such as the one promoted in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, Guillaume de Gisors is alleged to have been a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion.[3]
