Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager

Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager is a German lawyer and forester and a member of the Sovereign Council of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. He served as Grand Hospitaller from 1989 to 2014 and since 2014 as its Grand Chancellor. Boeselagar was at the centre of a leadership controversy within the Order of Malta in late 2016 and early 2017. After Boeslager was suspended as Grand Chancellor, Pope Francis intervened to restore him to office and require the resignation of the Prince and Grand Master of the Order, Fra' Matthew Festing.
