The Knights Hospitaller: From the Holy Land to Malta

One of the most successful military orders, the Knights of St John of Jerusalem grew in power and prestige in the time of the Crusades, after which they moved from the Holy Land, first to Rhodes and then to Malta. This course will examine the history of the order from its origins to the fortification of Valletta, Malta, in the sixteenth century. The knights’ roles as warriors and builders of fortifications will be at the centre of course discussions.
