- The original of the term came from the Turcomans, who gave the name of Turcopoles in general to fuch'children as were born of a Greek mother and a Turcoman father, and were defigned for the war fcrvice. It was afterwards a title of military dignity in the kingdom of Cyprus, from whence it wa-s adopted into the order of St. John. But the hofpitallers ufed it only to fignify the colonel gcn-jral of the infantry. Brother Gamier had refided for foms time in England, in quality of bailiff and tur-... copolier of the order. During that time king Henry II. Having expelled the canons regular out of the fa- mous abbey of Buckland, for living too llcentiouflv^ •gave this monaftery to the order, and brother Gamier put forae nuns that were hofpitallers of St. John into it.
