Under his leadership they launched a successful attempt at the conquest of Rhodes, (1308 to later 1309). Other islands were also taken (Kastellórizo, Bodrum). The Order then moved its headquarters to Rhodes. In 1317, the Order attempted a coup against him. A group of knights went to assassinate him at his residence at Rhodini, but his chamberlain aided his escape. He fled to the Hospitaller castle at Lindos, where he was besieged by his own Order. They had, in the meantime, elected Maurice de Pagnac as Grand Master in his place, and wrote to Pope John XXII in July to justify their actions.
