Esquieu de Floyran (Floyrac or Foyrac) was a prior of Montfaucon in the Abbey of Saint Martial in Limoges. [1]
Native from Béziers, he spoke falsely and disloyally against the order of the Temple, [2] and so became a traitor with Guillaume Robert, Bernard Pelet and Gérard de Boyzol. [3] He then was imprisoned. [4]
In 1308 he wrote a letter to the king of Aragon James II reminding him that when he visited him in Lerida in early 1305 he had given information about the order. [5] Ponsard de Gizy, commanderie de Payns, mentioned him on 27 November 1309 as one of the detonators of the Trials of the Knights Templar. [6]
