Hugues de Revel

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

Origins
He is stated in some sources (Vivian, Burke) 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.

His elder brother was John Reynell (d.1363/4) 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 (alias Fulborne, etc), daughter of Giles de Fulburne of Cambridgeshire. 

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