As one of the greatest of the military orders that were generated
in the Church, the Order of the Hospital of St John was a major
landowner and a significant political presence in most European
states. It was also a leading player in the settlements established
in the Levant in the wake of the crusades. It survives today. In
this source-based and up-to-date account of its activities and
internal history in the first two centuries of its existence,
attention is particularly paid to the lives of the brothers and
sisters who made up its membership and were professed religious.
Themes in the book relate to the tension that always existed
between the Hospital's roles as both a hospitaller and a military
order and its performance as an institution that was at the same
time a religious order and a great international corporation.
