  Some sources list Richard de Bures as the 17th Grand Master from 1245-1247. However, there is no incontrovertible record of him being voted in as Grand Master. It is normally accepted in academic circles that Richard was simply a caretaker Grand Master after the death of Armand de Périgord, until the election of Guillame de Sonnac in 1247.
