Founded to support Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land and most
famous for their support for crusading, the Military Religious
Orders' activities and interests stretched far beyond the frontiers
of Christendom. Representing some of the most recent advances in
research, in this volume eleven scholars from Europe and North
America explore important and hitherto under-researched aspects of
the Orders' history, scrutinising their relations with the papacy,
their organisational structure, their devotional practices, their
fortresses and their presence in the localities of Western Europe.
Particular attention is given to the Templars' trial of 1307-12 and
the question of how the surviving Orders reorganised themselves
after the loss of the kingdom of Jerusalem in 1291. The majority of
the papers consider the leading Military Orders, the Hospitallers
and Templars, but there are also studies of the Orders of Mountjoy
and of St Lazarus, showing how they adapted their activities to
local requirements. These studies reflect the vitality of current
scholarship on the Military Religious Orders.
