Notes Account in d'Avity:
Bertrand was succeeded by Guerin whose surname is unknown. He gave to the Earl of Cornwall a particle of the precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which had been preserved in Jerusalem by the Master in the house of the Hospital of St John. He presented it to the Earl of Cornwall in England.
[In 1242 the Blessed Brother Gerard Mecatt* departed this life. He was a serving brother of the Order of St John, born in Villamagna, a village four or five miles from Florence. He lived an even more religious life by taking the habit of the Third Order of St Francis, where he lived near to St Hilary.]
Grandmaster Guerin, fighting bravely against the Corasmin infidels, was captured by them and sent to the Sultan of Egypt, where he ended his days in the year 1244.

Anno MCCXLII. vivis exemptus fuit beatus frater Gerhardus Meccatius, frater ministrans Ordinis S. Ioannis, natus Villaemagnae, qui pagus est quatuor aut quinque passuum milibus Florentia distans: qui assumpto habitu tertii ordinis S. Francici adeo religiose vixit, ut pro altero S. Hilarione haberetur.
Magnus magister Guerinus, fortiter pugnans cum Corasminis infidelibus, captus ab iis fuit, et ad Sultanum Aegypti missus, ubi ultimum vitae diem clausit, anno MCCXLIV.
