Francisco Ximénez de Tejada

Francisco Ximénez de Tejada y Eslava (Aragonese: Francisco Ximénes de Texada i Eslava; 13 October 1703, Funes, Kingdom of Navarre − 9 November 1775, Naples) was a Spanish knight who served as the 69th Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Malta from 1773 to 1775.

During his reign the Order became unpopular mainly due to bankruptcy brought by the lavish lifestyle of his predecessor Manuel Pinto da Fonseca.

Unlike most other Grand Masters of the Order of Malta he had not set aside any money for his funeral.

[3] He was buried in a lead-lined wooden coffin in the crypt at Saint John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta, but his tomb remained unmarked.

His remains were discovered again in 2021 when arrangements were made for Grand Master Matthew Festing to be buried in the same crypt.
