Knights Hospitallers - ΟΙ ΙΠΠΟΤΕΣ ΤΗΣ ΜΑΛΤΑΣ
ρχικά ονομάζονταν και Σπιταλιώτες ή Οσπιτάλιοι Ιππότες του Αγίου Ιωάννη της Ιερουσαλήμ, Ιππότες της Ρόδου ή απλώς Ιωαννίτες.
The Knights Hospitaller were the first of the great military/religious monastic orders that were created to defend the Crusader dominions in the Holy Land in the 11th century. After the fall of Acre in 1291, marking the end of the Crusader states, the Order was forced to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Cyprus.
In an attempt to avoid becoming enmeshed in the internal disputes of the kingdom, in 1309 the Knights acquired the island of Rhodes, which would serve as the temporal domain of the Order until their ouster by the Ottoman Turks following the Siege of Rhodes in 1522.
