This study of the female members of the Order or Hospital of Saint
John of Jerusalem in the High Middle Ages analyses their presence
in the context of female monasticism and compares their position to
the position of women in other religious military orders.
Introducing questions of gender into the history of the military
orders.
Women, like men, joined the religious military orders that came
about during the Crusades such as the Templars, Hospitallers, and
Order of Santiago. This study looks deeper into female membership
of these orders by placing the discussion of women in medieval
military orders in the larger context of female monasticism. While
all major religious military orders are taken into account, the
focus of this study, and the brunt of new research, is on the
female members of the Order of Saint John.
