The text describes the Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of Hospitallers or simply Hospitallers. It was a group of men attached to a hospital in Jerusalem founded by Blessed Gerard around 1023. Two major Orders of Chivalry evolved: the Order of St. John and the Order of St. Lazarus. The Hospitallers cared for the poor, sick, and injured pilgrims. After Jerusalem's conquest in 1099, the organization became a religious and military order. Following the loss of the Holy Land to Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, and later Malta.
