Groote (or Grote), Geert (1340–84), founder of the ‘Brethren of the Common Life’. In 1374 he was converted from luxury to a simple life; in 1379 he became a missionary preacher in the diocese of Utrecht. His out-spoken criticism of abuses led to his licence as a preacher being withdrawn in 1383, but his appeal against the sentence was never answered. He gathered round him friends who lived a quasi-monastic life at Deventer and became the nucleus of the Brethren of the Common Life.
