Biography
Raoul de Mauléon was a member of a powerful Aquitainian seigneurial family who played a central role in the history of the Angevin overlordship of the region. His arrival in the Latin East in 1183 was noted by William of Tyre, associated with the arrival of Godfrey III of Louvain, although their journeys are unlikely to have been related. He went on to join Richard I of England on the Third Crusade.
