The Hospitallers and

the Holy Land

FINANCING THE LATIN EAST

1187–1274

The Order of the Hospital of St John was among the most creative and

important institutions of the Middle Ages, its history provoking much

debate and controversy. However, there has been very little study of the way

in which it operated as an organisation contributing to the survival of the

Christian settlement in the East, a gap which this book addresses. It focuses

on the impact of the various crises in the East upon the Order, looking at

how it reacted to events, the contributions that western priories played in the

rehabilitation of the East, and the various efforts made to restore its

economic and military strength. In particular, the author shows the key role

played by the papacy, both in the Order's recovery, and in determining the

fate of the crusader states. Overall, it offers a whole new perspective on the

connections between East and West.
