Knight Hospitaller (1): 1100-1306: Pt.1 (Warrior)

GREAT SELLER+BOOK+VALUE

After a visit to Malta, this was a quick and informative book to find out some more onformation on the knights Hopitallers.

As described. Great.

Brilliant, very interesting arrived as described. Pleased with all aspects of this purchase, certainly would suggest reading it to get an overview of the orders early history

This is the first book that I have seen that covers the monastic dress of the first brothers-at-arms of the Order of the Hospital of St John at Jerusalem. All the full coloured drawings are of fantastic detail and bring to life the appearance of these fighting monks. For everyone interested in the Knights Hospitaller, this is one book that you MUST have in your collection.

This is an excellent introduction to the Templars' contemporaries (and sometimes rivals) the Hospitallers. The ever-prolific David Nicolle takes the story from the origins of the Order to the epic siege of Malta in 1565, employing a host of beautiful colour illustrations, including many of his own photographs of the sites described. The book includes a very useful chronology, list of Masters of the Order and glossary, as well as a number of helpful maps. Very good value for money.
