Geoffrey Burel of Amboise (d. 1101) was Lord of Amboise jure uxoris and a knight in the Crusade of 1101, fighting in the army of William IX. Note that this individual is not the same as the Geoffrey Burel who was a commander in the service of Peter the Hermit.

Geoffrey was arranged to be married to Corba of Thorigne, Lady of Amboise, the daughter of the son-in-law of Fulk IV le Réchin, Count of Anjou. Widowed twice, Corba’s marriage was arranged by Fulk to maintain control of the estates of Amboise.

As was typical of the army of William, in which wives accompanied their husbands on crusade, Corba went with Geoffrey to the Holy Land. Geoffrey was killed at the battle of Heraclea and Corba was abducted by the Turks and never heard from again.
