IX. Gebjianv. — It is difflcuk to ascertain how the

order was rep^ulated in Germany, where its posses- sions were very extensive. We hear of three great- prinrs : those of Upper Germany, of Brandenburg, □od of Bohemia and Moravia ; one of whom, but it cannot be determined which, had probably authority over the others. Though the Templars got lands in Germany as early as the year 113U, their acquisi- tions were not lar^ in that country till the thirteenth century. Poland .was included in the province of Germany. Great-prior in Aiemaniu and Slaviu was a usual title of the great-prior of Germany. Though the possessions of the Templars in Hungary were very considerable, there are uo grounds for supposing that it formed a separate province : it was probably subject to the great-prior of Germany.
