Godfrey de Saint - Omer Godfrey of Saint - Omer ( also known as Gaufred , Godefroi , or Godfrey de St Omer , Saint Omer ) was a French knight and one of the founding members of the Knights Templar in 1119 . He is said to have come from the family of the Lords of Saint - Omer ( in today ' s northern France ) , possibly the son of William I , Lord of Saint Omer and Melisende de Piquigny . William and Melisende were known to have a son , Hugh , and both William and Hugh participated in the First Crusade as vassals of Robert II of Flanders . Hugh of Saint - Omer was also mentioned as one of the best knights in the Kingdom of Jerusalem . There are conflicting reports as to Godfrey ' s relationship to William and Hugh . Chronologically Godfrey may have been Hugh ' s brother but it is also said that he was Hugh ' s son . On the list of crusaders , a Gauthier de Saint - Omer is listed , which could be a mistake for Gaufred ( Gauthier de Saint - Omer was not yet born ) . Therefore Godfrey probably came to Jerusalem in 1099 with William I and Hugh . According to legend , Hugues de Payens ( the first Grand - Master of the Templars ) and Godfrey were so poor that between the two of them they had only one horse , and this gave rise to the famous image on the seal of the Templars , of two men riding a single horse .

Finnish Defence Forces rank of Prikaatinkenraali is comparable to Ranks of NATO armies officers as OF - 6 . A prikaatikenraali can serve as a commander of a brigade or in senior administrative , staff or planning tasks . The need for a new rank between kenraalimajuri and eversti came among international missions . Elsewhere in the world some of the duties were assigned to a general officer . Kenraalimajuri would have been too high - ranking for such missions , so in 1994 a rank of prikaatinkenraali was created specifically for high - ranking officers serving abroad . Prikaatinkenraali used to have a one silver lion as an insignia of rank , but in October 1995 the rank ' s name was changed to prikaatikenraali , the lion was changed to golden and other generals were given one additional lion . Therefore kenraalimajuri has now two lions instead of the previous one .
