  • A brief (and epic) introduction to the history of the Knights of the order of Saint John of Jerusalem.
    Colors Black and white, Red and white.
    Patrons: Our Lady of Philermos, John the Baptist
    The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (Latin: Ordo Fratrum Hospitalis Sancti Ioannis Hierosolymitani) probably arose as a group of individuals associated with an Amalfitan hospital in the Muristan district of Jerusalem, dedicated to John the Baptist and founded around 1023 by Gerard Thom to provide care for sick, poor or injured pilgrims coming to the Holy Land.The knights were weakened in the Protestant Reformation, when rich commanderies of the order in northern Germany and the Netherlands became Protestant and largely separated from the Roman Catholic main stem, remaining separate to this day.

    They're normally called the "Knights Hospitaller" (without the second S) in English. Although you sometimes hear it shortened to "the Hospitallers". Much like with the Knights Templar (or just the Templars).

    Teutonic, Hospitaller and Templar, I Wonder why these three are the most popular.
    The Order of the Holy Sepulchre founded by Godfrey, one of the leaders of the first crusade, and the first ruler of the crusader Kingdom. They were the major crusader catholic military order, why they don't get the same treatment in popular culture that the three popular orders i don't know.

    • @EmperorGray
      @EmperorGray Před 7 lety +18

      I guess Holy Sepulcher didn't roll off the tongue as well or didn't sound epic compared to the others.

    • @arx3516
      @arx3516 Před 7 lety +3

      The fact is that the order of the Holy Sepulcher is totally controlled by the Vatican right now, being a knight of the Holy Sepulcher is now an honorary title only, it-s true that the Teutonic knights suffered a similar fate, being now just a religoius order under vatican control, but its former political relevance made them very famous. At this moment the Hospitaliers are the more independent ones, they are still a catholic order, but they are separated from the vatican, and not subordinated to it, and they still are a military order, they have an air force too, and they have cooperated with the italian military since the unification. But to say the whole truth, the military forces of the hospitaliers just consist of equipment and soldiers that they borrow from the italian military. Maybe the knights even participated in the military missions in Afghanistan! XD

      @GuildofKnightlyArts Před 7 lety +3

      How are they now non-denominational? I just went to the official website of the Knights of Malta and it states the following:
      ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
      • The applicant is a lay man or woman (at least 25 years old) who is an active and practicing Catholic in good standing and supports the teachings of the Catholic Church on all matters of faith and morals.
      • The applicant has a record of service to the Catholic Church and to Catholic-related causes by lending professional expertise and “hands-on” volunteer service to the poor.
      • The applicant has achieved a degree of distinction in his or her professional field (business, law, medicine, academics, military, Foreign Service, government, philanthropy/charitable activities, etc.). The applicant should be regarded as a leader in his or her field and in the community.
      Then under their page called "Defense of the Faith" it states:
      SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES
      According to the rule and spiritual guidelines, accepting the Cross of the Order imposes duty and sacrifice. Members are obliged to the sincere and open profession of the Catholic faith.

    • @GuildofKnightlyArts
      @GuildofKnightlyArts Před 7 lety +3

      Ok, with a bit more searching I found that the Hospitaller movement is split between a Catholic Order and a Protestant Order which require one to simply be a Christian as one of its membership prerequisites.

    Here in the U.S. our Firefighters have the Maltese Cross on their vehicles and uniforms. There is a code from The Hospitaller that Firefighters and EMT follow. I was given the code from a Firefighter who knew I am a staunch supporter of The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of The Temple of Solomon.
    The Legacy of The Hospitaller is strong in the U.S., even though I do not know if they are actually part of the order.
    They are my second favorite Order, obviously, after The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and The Temple of Solomon.

    You know...when the colours for these knightly orders got handed out, the Hospitallers really drew the short straw. Fighting in mail armour with padding underneath must have been terrible enough somewhere in the Middle East, but wearing a black surcoat on top of all that must have sucked so hard.

    Its amazing how many branches of military Orders there where during the Crusades. Most people who think of the term "Crusader" they think of a Knight Templar. Its nice to see more "Historideos" of other crusaders such as the Knights of Malta. Hope to see future videos of other Religeous Military orders that existed during the later crusades. The Order of the Knights Sepulchre or the Order of Saint Lazarus would be a great topics for a future videos.

      It would be very interesting, and no doubt full of surprises, however it would also be the end of privacy, depending on the limits of the ability. If you could view events just a few seconds in the past, that would be the end of privacy. If you could only view things a hundred years or more in the past, it wouldn't have quite the same impact.
      There is an interesting paradox if time travel is possible, it will never be invented. That is because if it is ever invented, someone from the future will travel back into the past to make sure time travel is never invented.
      Albert Einstein on the other hand said that the past, present, and future are just a stubborn illusion.
      Beats me. I am not stupid, but I am no Einstein.

  • @StRapier
    @StRapier Před 7 lety

    I don't think the Knights of St John would be proud, for they are known as the Knights of the poor. If I recall correctly, we learned that they gave up their wealth to the church, and swore celibacy. They would send their bodyguards as towns watch and only ate what little the poor could eat, mainly hard bread and soup. They would fight fiercely, but after each battle, they will still treat enemy casualties equally, for they believe in serving mankind. I learned of this when I was a volunteer in the SJAB. I think perhaps there were some Maltese nobles were unable to fully sacrifice their wealth and swear celibacy, hence some slander, but that's just my personal guess.. at anyrate, really love to see you feature the Knights of St John, my most loved Order! Thank you very much ;)

    A nice summary of the history of the order, though it’s a shame that some of it wasn’t included. The order began caring for the sick and poor of any faith. Formally know as ‘The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, it still exists today through its regional bodies; Priories, Commanderies and Associations. It continues to delivery care around the glob with far more volunteers and staff than quoted. Around half a million.

    Cool dude! Content is always great man. Just wondering though, do you have any idea if there is a swordstyle that makes extensive use of the scabard in battle? Seems quite fictional but I was just really curious.

      @jfbuno6013 Před 7 lety

      Metatron Yeah that was the closest that I thought too. I was thinking something more like striking an enemy with a sheathed blade. Don't know if that is practical though but thanks for the reply man.
      Edit: I accidentally wrote unsheathed when I meant sheathed

      Matt Easton did a video once where he mentioned that, after having drawn your scabbard, you now have effectively two weapons. You can throw the scabbard at the enemy's face, you can parry with it while simultaneously countering with your sword, or you can hit with it directly. As far as I know, however, there aren't any HEMA sources covering *how* you would do these things.

    Maltese cross resembling 4v is an anachronism for 12-13th century Hospitallers, and it is, unfortunately, often seen in illustration and reenactment. Knights of St.John used variations of Cross Formee until much later in thier history when various types of v shaped arms started to emerge.

    before you do the Templar video, I'd recommend reading the book "The Way of the Templar" by Timothy Hogan. Very interesting book.

    The way you said "les hospitaliers" sounds like what they would have said back then. Today, the "er(s)" ending is only pronounced as "é"

    A Cockney Templar? Do the modern Templars have an Anglican branch? What is the world coming to...

  • @freespeechextremist197

    Started as defenders and healers with no monetary ambition, ended up as pirates and slavers. With that aside they really were the most hardworking and dedicated of the knightly orders.

    Many people only focused on the glory in killing, but not many could truly appreciate the true values of the Hospitallers.. It’s not about how well one can kill, but actually on how many can be saved. There is one thing we learn in our Knowledge of the Order of the SJAB, is that, after each battle, surviving Hospitallers would treat ALL casualties equally irregardless of their race or religion. The motivation behind each battle the Hospitallers faced came not from the hatred nor pride against the enemy, but the sense of duty to protect the helpless. Just like when how the Knights of Malta held back the Ottoman Empire. It is not the hatred for the Turks that fuel their spirits to fight so valiantly, but the concern of the safety of the Europeans if the Ottomans successfully break through.
