The Order of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem (Latin:Ordo Fratrum Hospitalis Sancti Ioannis Hierosolymitani), also known as Order of Saint John, Order of Hospitallers, Knights Hospitaller, and the Hospitallers, was the name of the precedent medieval military organisation of the contemporary Sovereign Military Order of Malta, one of the most prominent of the Roman Catholicmilitary orders and still today a sovereign subject of international law. It was headquartered in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta, until it became known by its current name.
The Hospitallers probably arose as a group of individuals associated with an Amalfitanhospital in the Muristan district of Jerusalem, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and founded around 1023 to provide care for sick, poor or injured pilgrims coming to the Holy Land. Some scholars, however, consider that the Amalfitan order and hospital were different from Gerard Thom's order and its hospital. After the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own Papal charter, charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the knights operated from Rhodes, over which they were sovereign, and later from Malta, where they administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Hospitallers were the smallest group ever to colonise parts of the Americas; at one point in the mid-17th century, they acquired four Caribbean islands, which they turned over to the French and Dutch in the 1660s.
Malta (i/ˈmɒltə/; Maltese:[ˈmɐltɐ]), officially the Republic of Malta (Maltese:Repubblika ta' Malta), is a Southern Europeanisland country comprising an archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. It lies 80km (50mi) south of Italy, 284km (176mi) east of Tunisia, and 333km (207mi) north of Libya. The country covers just over 316km2 (122sqmi), with a population of just under 450,000 (despite an extensive emigration programme since the Second World War), making it one of the world's smallest and most densely populated countries. The capital of Malta is Valletta, which at 0.8km2, is the smallest national capital in the European Union. Malta has two official languages: Maltese and English.
There once was a sacred Order of Knights who put the fear of God into their Muslim enemy. They held secrets and were deeply involved in the world of the occult; the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. They exist to this day and indeed they even hold a seat in the United Nations, but their past is a remarkable tale of battles against the Ottoman Empire and intrigue in a sinister world of alchemy.

Knights of St. John and the Great Siege of Malta 1565
The siege of Malta, defended by the knights of St John, otherwise known as the knights Hospitaller, or Knights of Malta, is one of the great military actions in history. They were a religious military order established prior to the crusades, in order to assist pilgrims on their journey to Christian holy sites across the levant. As the crusades began in earnest, they soon transformed into a military order, rivalling the knights Templar in their prowess and influence.
As the crusader kingdoms slowly began to collapse, the Knights retreated to other strongholds, such as Cyprus and Rhodes, till they eventually also fell to the Muslims.
Finally, entrenched in their last remaining stronghold of Malta, they made their final stand. This battle was to be either "the Alamo" for them, or for the Mu...

What is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta?
Many have said that the Sovereign Military Order of Malta is best understood as a state without territory - a landless country. After all, as the name suggests, it claims sovereignty. It also has international personality. It even has diplomatic relations with over 110 countries. However, it has no formal territory. So, does this really make it a state or country? In this video, I explore the Order and set out how we can really best understand it.

▶ In this video I talk about the only country in the world that has no territory: the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, previously known as the Knights Hospitaller. The Order was first established when Italian merchants set up a hospital in, at the time, Muslim-ruled Jerusalem. With the conquest of the Holy City by Europeans - through the First Crusade - the Hospitallers gained an increased role in acting as Knights for the protection of the city, thus adding a military element to their previous one. When Jerusalem fell, they withdrew into Cyprus, but found no way of truly establishing themselves there, therefore beginning to plan a conquest of the famous island of Rhodes. They succeed...

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta - officially the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta - is one of the strangest bodies in international relations. Founded in 1048, and also known as the Knights of Malta, it is acknowledged to be one of the oldest institutions in the world. Better known today for its charitable works, the Order Malta is also famous because of its rather unusual characteristics, including its observer status at the United Nations. This has led many to think of it as state without territory. As I show, this is incorrect. It isn't a country, and can't be one. However, there is another way of looking at it that makes far more sense. As this video shows, for all its quirks and its historically unique position, the Order is in fact becoming less out of the ordinary and far more normal in a modern world filled with all sorts of bodies and entities operating at the international level.

▶ In this video I talk about the only country in the world that has no territory: the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, previously known as the Knights Hospitaller. The Order was first established when Italian merchants set up a hospital in, at the time, Muslim-ruled Jerusalem. With the conquest of the Holy City by Europeans - through the First Crusade - the Hospitallers gained an increased role in acting as Knights for the protection of the city, thus adding a military element to their previous one. When Jerusalem fell, they withdrew into Cyprus, but found no way of truly establishing themselves there, therefore beginning to plan a conquest of the famous island of Rhodes. They succeeded in doing so, and it was at this moment that they saw their official establishment as a country 'per se', with the constant support of the Papacy since its establishment. Eventually Rhodes fell to an Ottoman invasion, and the Knights were forced to seek exile in Sicily, at the time ruled by the Spanish Crown. When this happened, the Pope happened to be a member of the Order itself, and so he negotiated with the Spanish king the acquisition of the nearby island of Malta for the Order, who would exist as a Spanish tributary state, altough mostly symbolically. As the Order established itself in Malta, the Ottomans rushed to attack them again, but they were successful in their defense this time and achieved a historical and magnificent victory that begun a golden age in their rule, culminating with an attempt to establish their own colonial empire in the Caribbean, by acquiring some islands off of France. Eventually they began losing influence throughout Europe - first due to the Protestant Reformation, which caused them to lose their properties and respective income in Britain. And then through the French Revolution that caused the same in France. Soon after, Napoleon - another product of the Revolution - invaded Malta on the way to his Egyptian Campaign. And the Knights were forced to surrender and seek exhile in Saint Petersburg. The order disbanded throughout most of Europe, concentrating in Russia - who took the biggest role in financing it and won great influence within it (even seeing Tsar Paul I become Grand-Master). For whatever reason, Sweden offered their island of Gotland to the Knights in exchange for them renouncing their claim on Malta (perhaps to help France), but the Order refused. Eventually they were forced to give up this claim anyway, and so they found themselves without any territory of their own; eventually returning to Italy where Papal protection was renewed, and moving into their old Roman Embassy which now comprises the full extent of their land, effectively being a country with no territory.

#Documentary #Habsburg #Ottoman
There once was a sacred Order of Knights who put the fear of God into their Muslim enemy. They held secrets and were deeply involved in the world of the occult; the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. They exist to this day and indeed they even hold a seat in the United Nations, but their past is a remarkable tale of battles against the Ottoman Empire and intrigue in a sinister world of alchemy.
The Mediterranean island of Malta is proud of its long history. With its medieval buildings and impressive fortifications, the capital is like an open-air museum. But when the Knights of St. John hold processions and church services in Valetta, the Middle Ages seem to come alive. For more information and videos go to:

The siege of Malta, defended by the knights of St John, otherwise known as the knights Hospitaller, or Knights of Malta, is one of the great military actions in history. They were a religious military order established prior to the crusades, in order to assist pilgrims on their journey to Christian holy sites across the levant. As the crusades began in earnest, they soon transformed into a military order, rivalling the knights Templar in their prowess and influence.
As the crusader kingdoms slowly began to collapse, the Knights retreated to other strongholds, such as Cyprus and Rhodes, till they eventually also fell to the Muslims.
Finally, entrenched in their last remaining stronghold of Malta, they made their final stand. This battle was to be either "the Alamo" for them, or for the Muslims- "Stalingrad".

Following the death of Mehmet II, there were 2 (possibly 3) sultans- Bayezid II and Selim I

Many have said that the Sovereign Military Order of Malta is best understood as a state without territory - a landless country. After all, as the name suggests, it claims sovereignty. It also has international personality. It even has diplomatic relations with over 110 countries. However, it has no formal territory. So, does this really make it a state or country? In this video, I explore the Order and set out how we can really best understand it.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta - officially the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta - is one of the strangest bodies in international relations. Founded in 1048, and also known as the Knights of Malta, it is acknowledged to be one of the oldest institutions in the world. Better known today for its charitable works, the Order Malta is also famous because of its rather unusual characteristics, including its observer status at the United Nations. This has led many to think of it as state without territory. As I show, this is incorrect. It isn't a country, and can't be one. However, there is another way of looking at it that makes far more sense. As this video shows, for all its quirks and its historically unique position, the Order is in fact becoming less out of the ordinary and far more normal in a modern world filled with all sorts of bodies and entities operating at the international level.

▶ In this video I talk about the only country in the world that has no territory: the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, previously known as the Knights Hospitaller. The Order was first established when Italian merchants set up a hospital in, at the time, Muslim-ruled Jerusalem. With the conquest of the Holy City by Europeans - through the First Crusade - the Hospitallers gained an increased role in acting as Knights for the protection of the city, thus adding a military element to their previous one. When Jerusalem fell, they withdrew into Cyprus, but found no way of truly establishing themselves there, therefore beginning to plan a conquest of the famous island of Rhodes. They succeeded in doing so, and it was at this moment that they saw their official establishment as a country 'per se', with the constant support of the Papacy since its establishment. Eventually Rhodes fell to an Ottoman invasion, and the Knights were forced to seek exile in Sicily, at the time ruled by the Spanish Crown. When this happened, the Pope happened to be a member of the Order itself, and so he negotiated with the Spanish king the acquisition of the nearby island of Malta for the Order, who would exist as a Spanish tributary state, altough mostly symbolically. As the Order established itself in Malta, the Ottomans rushed to attack them again, but they were successful in their defense this time and achieved a historical and magnificent victory that begun a golden age in their rule, culminating with an attempt to establish their own colonial empire in the Caribbean, by acquiring some islands off of France. Eventually they began losing influence throughout Europe - first due to the Protestant Reformation, which caused them to lose their properties and respective income in Britain. And then through the French Revolution that caused the same in France. Soon after, Napoleon - another product of the Revolution - invaded Malta on the way to his Egyptian Campaign. And the Knights were forced to surrender and seek exhile in Saint Petersburg. The order disbanded throughout most of Europe, concentrating in Russia - who took the biggest role in financing it and won great influence within it (even seeing Tsar Paul I become Grand-Master). For whatever reason, Sweden offered their island of Gotland to the Knights in exchange for them renouncing their claim on Malta (perhaps to help France), but the Order refused. Eventually they were forced to give up this claim anyway, and so they found themselves without any territory of their own; eventually returning to Italy where Papal protection was renewed, and moving into their old Roman Embassy which now comprises the full extent of their land, effectively being a country with no territory.

The Order of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem (Latin:Ordo Fratrum Hospitalis Sancti Ioannis Hierosolymitani), also known as Order of Saint John, Order of Hospitallers, Knights Hospitaller, and the Hospitallers, was the name of the precedent medieval military organisation of the contemporary Sovereign Military Order of Malta, one of the most prominent of the Roman Catholicmilitary orders and still today a sovereign subject of international law. It was headquartered in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta, until it became known by its current name.
The Hospitallers probably arose as a group of individuals associated with an Amalfitanhospital in the Muristan district of Jerusalem, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and founded around 1023 to provide care for sick, poor or injured pilgrims coming to the Holy Land. Some scholars, however, consider that the Amalfitan order and hospital were different from Gerard Thom's order and its hospital. After the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own Papal charter, charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the knights operated from Rhodes, over which they were sovereign, and later from Malta, where they administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Hospitallers were the smallest group ever to colonise parts of the Americas; at one point in the mid-17th century, they acquired four Caribbean islands, which they turned over to the French and Dutch in the 1660s.
