Simon de Quincy (1260–1307) held the position of Grand Preceptor of the Kingdom of Sicily, one of the highest offices within the Templar Order in the Mediterranean region.[1] Between 1284 and 1291, Simon de Quincy served as the Preceptor of the Domus of Prunay in France.[2][3] In the early 1300s, he was Magister in Marseille. In 1304, he became Preceptor of Apulia, with his headquarters located in the Templar house just outside the urban walls of Barletta.
