This lesson continues the discussion on the Knights of St. John and their origins, focusing on the order’s evolution from a hospitaller group. The lesson traces the order’s journey from the Middle East to Europe following the fall of Constantinople, highlighting their temporary stay in Italy and subsequent settlement in Malta. Offers for land were extended to them, notably by the King of Spain and Sicily in 1524, which eventually led to their establishment in Malta, while they were also involved with territories like Tripoli to support the Christian defense in North Africa.
