THE MILITARY KNIGHTS: THE MILITARY ORDER OF ST JOHN AND THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
At the time of the First Crusade in 1099, two powerful military orders were founded in Jerusalem.
The Knights of St John, originally known as the Knights Hospitaller, were established in order to care for the sick and injured.
The Knights Templar were given the role of protecting Christian pilgrims and the people of the Crusader States from the Muslims.
​
The Knights Templar were disbanded in the early 14th Century while the Knights of St John are still a world-wide organisation.
This talk traces the history of the two Orders.
