Raymond du Puy de Provence was a 12th-century French knight who served as the second Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller. Leading the order from approximately 1121 until 1160, he transformed the organization from a social mission focused on care into a significant military power. He organized the membership into clerical, military, and serving divisions and established a major infirmary near the Holy Sepulchre. Throughout his leadership, he navigated complex political and territorial negotiations in the Holy Land and across Europe to secure the order's influence and resources.
