Hugues de Revel (d.1277) was the 19th (or 20th) Grand Master of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem (1258–1277).[2]

Origins

He is stated in some sources (Vivian, Burke[3]) to have been an Englishman, Hugo Reinell, a younger son of Walter Reynell of Pitney in Somerset by his wife Maude de Trumpington, daughter and heiress of Everard de Trumpington of Trumpington in Cambridgeshire.[4]

His elder brother was John Reynell (d.1363/4)[5] of Trumpington in Cambridgeshire (stated in the Heraldic Visitation of Devon of 1620 to have been a Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire in 1351/2) who married Maud de Fulburne[6] (alias Fulborne,[7] etc), daughter of Giles de Fulburne of Cambridgeshire.[8]

The earliest recorded member of the Reynell family is Sir Richard Reynell (d.pre-1213) (alias Reinell,[9] Reynolds, etc), of Pitney in Somerset, Sheriff of Devon in 1191-4, [10] Hugo Reynell's great-great-grandfather.
