Francisco Ximenes de Texada

The 69th Grandmaster of

The Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta

28 January 1773 - 9 November 1775

Grand Master Francesco Ximenes (1773-75) was a Spaniard and his reign was brief, remembered mostly for what has become known as the uprising of tile priests, an abortive rebellion led by a simple-minded priest Dun Gaetano Mannarino. The rebellion was crushed and most of its leaders, excluding Mannarino, were executed and their heads impaled on spikes.
