The period covered is the Order's time operating from Cyprus after their expulsion from Palestine. There is some coverage of the installation in the city of Rhodes, and slight coverage of naval warfare in the Levant. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieOsprey Warrior (41)
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.
