D’une illustre famille du Limousin, Eudes de Saint Amand avait été maréchal, puis bouteiller du royaume de Jérusalem, avant d’entrer dans l’Ordre du Temple. Fait prisonnier par les Turcs en 1178, il refuse d’être échangé contre un Emir prisonnier de l’Ordre, disant :

" Je ne veux point autoriser par mon exemple la lacheté de ceux de mes religieux qui se laisseraient prendre, dans la vue d’être rachetés. Un Templier doit vaincre ou mourir, et ne peut donner pour rançon que son poignard ou sa ceinture ".

Revert

Not sure why the exhaustive article was replaced with the old sketchy, non-wikified one, but I have reverted it to the account researched on the Templar project website, and left the relevant reference in the edit summary.
