Garnier de Nablus

Garnier de Nablus

Garnier de Nablus was Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller from 1190 to 1192. He fought at the battle of Arsuf under Richard the Lionheart. Legend has it that when he was pressed by the Muslims during the battle, he rode forward in person and asked Richard to relieve the pressure with a cavalry charge. Richard replied 'Good Master, it is you who must sustain the charge; no man can be everywhere at once'. It is said that when the pressure increased, the Grand Master and one other knight broke ranks and charged the Muslims, joined soon after by the rest of the force. Richard, seeing that his orders were already disobeyed, signalled for a full charge. This caught the enemy at a vulnerable moment, and their ranks were broken. Thus, in some ways de Nablus helped win the battle, though in contravention of Richard's orders.
