The Knights Hospitaller

The Knights Hospitaller (the Order of Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem or Knights of Malta or Knights of Rhodes) were a militant Christian monastic group founded in the 11th century.

Based in the Holy Land, the order was charged with the care and defence of pilgrims.

The Knights Hospitaller began some 4 decades before the rival Templar Order. Prior to the Templar's existence, the Order of the hospital were principally a humanitarian order offering aid and care to traveling pilgrims.

After the formation of the Templars in 1118 AD, the Hospitallers took on a military role like their rivals, the Knights Templar.

 

From 1258/9-1277/8 , Hugues de Revel was Grand Master Of The Order Of The Hospital During Templar Era. The Grandmaster, William de Chateauneuf, died in 1259, and was succeeded by Hugh de Revel, a cadet of a noble family of Auvergne.
