André de Montbard (c.

Knights Templar and also one of the new founders of the Order.
The Montbard family came from
Hochadel in
Burgundy, and André was an uncle of St.
Bernard of Clairvaux, being a half-brother of Bernard's mother Aleth de Montbard. He entered the Order in

Bernard de Tremelay, who had been killed during an assault on the city on
August 16.
He died on January 17, 1156, in
