This short study of the history of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, is intended as an introduction to the Order for academics working in other fields, as well as the interested general reader. Beginning with a consideration of the origins of the Order as a hospice for pilgrims in Jerusalem in the eleventh century, it traces the Hospitaller's development into a military order during the first part of the 12th century, and its military activities on the frontiers of Christendom in the eastern Mediterranean, Spain and eastern Europe during the middle ages and into early modern period: its role in crusades and in wars against non-Christians on land and at sea, as well as its role in building and maintaining fortresses.

The Hospitallers were a religious order, founded in Jerusalem by 1099, devoted to nursing and to fighting the infidel. With their fellow knights, the Templars, they played a heroic part in the defence of the Holy Land, defending great castles, such as Krak des Chevaliers, while at the same time providing exemplary nursing care for the poor. Hospitallers is an illustrated history, by a leading historian of the crusades, of this remarkable body, the heir of which is the Order of St. John.

Having campaigned on land during their early existence, the Hospitallers fought mainly at sea from the turn of the 14th century. The emphasis was now on small-scale operations, rather than the crusading invasion that had so often come to grief. Having conquered Rhodes, the Order fortified it and transferred there in 1309. A period of on-off warfare with the Mamluks became full-blown conflict with the Ottomans, who captured Rhodes in 1522, forcing the Hospitallers to transfer to Malta. This book, the second of two, takes a close look at the men who lived and died for the Hospitaller cause in this key period, and the political and economic role that the Order played within the Christian empire.

Get to know the Knights Hospitaller, lesser known than the Knights Templar, the Hospitaller were nevertheless heroic and among the bravest of all the knights orders that fought for their faith during the Crusades. And they still stand strong to this day, helping those in need. Many of us have grown up with tales of knights in shining armor who arrived just at the nick of time to save the day, of selfless warriors who would give their own lives in the service of others. For most of us, these are just tales from someone's fanciful imagination. But the truth is, there was indeed an order of selfless knights who would ride to the rescue of the weak and routinely face down insurmountable odds. They were called the Knights Hospitaller. Here we will examine the world's most prolific military order, which began its life out of a hospital in the Middle East at the time of the Crusades. The Hospitallers were brave and more than willing to extend their hospitality to those who needed it most. They were also quite mysterious. There is still much about the Hospitallers that remains unknown and surrounded in intrigue. This book takes a look at the long history of the Hospitallers and the mystique and mystery that surrounds them.

The Hospitallers were a religious order, founded in Jerusalem in 1099, devoted to nursing and to fighting the Infidel. With their fellow knights, the Templars, they played a heroic part in the defence of the Holy Land, manning great castles while at the same time providing exemplary nursing care for the poor. After the fall of the Holy Land, the knights retreated first to Cyprus and then to Rhodes, which was massively fortified to defy the Turks. Finally expelled from Rhodes in 1523, they were given Malta by Charles V, where they survived the Great Siege of 1565, an epic of heroism that enthralled Europe. Driven from Malta by Napoleon in 1804, they have survived into modern times as a unique charitable order, still running a hospital in Jerusalem and providing first-aid for millions. Hospitallers is an illustrated history of this remarkable order. 'Like true Israelites and warriors most versed in holy battle, on fire with the flame of true love, you carry out in your deeds the words of the Gospel.'

The ancient warrior code which persisted in medieval Christian Europe dictated that a man's greatest virtues were physical strength, skill at arms, bravery, daring, loyalty to the chieftain and solidarity within the tribe. The primitive Church had been diametrically opposed to such ideals, however by the early 8th century the Church had grown wealthy, and the Saracen invasions of Spain and France posed a threat to that wealth. The Roman Church began to support war in defence of the faith, and by channelling the martial spirit into the service of God, the brutal warrior of the past was transformed into a guardian of society.
