Donations to the Knights Hospitaller in Britain and Ireland,
1291-1400 is the first study of donations to the Knights
Hospitaller throughout England and Ireland during the
late-thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The book demonstrates
that patrons donated to both military and non-military orders for
much the same reasons, particularly family connections or the
desire for spiritual benefit, rather than an interest in crusading.
Such a conclusion has important implications for the treatment of
the military orders by scholars of medieval religion, who
traditionally have either overlooked these orders entirely or
relegated them to a subfield of crusade studies rather than
treating them as a full part of mainstream religious life. By
reincorporating the military orders into mainstream religious
history, discussion will be furthered in a range of fields and
debates, such as ecclesiastical landholding, lay-church relations,
the role of women in religion, and the processes of the
Reformation. By focusing on the period 1291 to 1400, the book
considers the impact of the loss of the Holy Land in 1291; the
subsequent diffusion in crusade activity to the Baltic and Spain;
the intensification of the order's career as English royal servants
in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland; and the Hospitallers' crusade to
Rhodes in 1309-10. This book will appeal to scholars and students
of the Hospitallers, as well as those interested in medieval
Britain and Ireland.
