From the hospitals of Jerusalem to the bastions of Malta, the Knights Hospitallers stood at the crossroads of war, piety and power. History pivots on their vows. In this classic knights hospitallers history, the abbe de Vertot gives a richly detailed account of the Order of Saint John as one of the great Christian military orders, shaping the medieval and early modern Mediterranean from the crusades and Holy Land to the fortified islands of Rhodes and Malta. Volume V continues his sweeping narrative into the world of embattled crusader states, shifting empires and an early modern church history defined by rivalry, reform and the struggle for the sea. First published in the eighteenth century, Vertot's History of the Knights Hospitallers became a foundational reference for crusades scholars and a touchstone for anyone intrigued by the history of crusader orders. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for medieval history students, Templar history readers and crusader states history fans alike, it offers a compelling narrative source on the order's spiritual ideals, political intrigues and military campaigns, and an essential companion for serious study of Rhodes and Malta history and the wider story of Christian knighthood.
