Knights Hospitaller 13th Century Thank You Veronique Sovвђ Flickr The knights hospitaller, also known as the order of st. john, is an organization steeped in history, a tale spun from the threads of chivalry, faith, warfare, and benevolence. founded in the 11th century in jerusalem, the order originally emerged as a group dedicated to providing care for pilgrims journeying to the holy land. their mission soon evolved into a dual purpose of hospitaller work. The knights hospitaller (also known as the sovereign military hospitaller order of st. john of jerusalem of rhodes and of malta, order of st. john, knights of malta, and chevaliers of malta; french: ordre des hospitaliers) was a christian organization that began as an amalfitan hospital founded in jerusalem in 1080, to provide care for poor, sick, or injured pilgrims to the holy land. In the second half of the 13th century, it is estimated that the knights hospitaller had to spend 2,000 silver deniers to fully equip a knight, while a mounted caravanier (brother sergeant) was equipped with the cost of 1,500 deniers (at the turn of the 14th century). this included the cost of both armor and arms, with good quality swords alone. The hospitallers had a system for transporting the sick, which again shows a quite advanced practice ahead of its time. in a way, you stand to experience a part of hospitaller medical legacy every time you hear an ambulance’s siren. a look inside a hospitaler operated by the knights hospitaller.
