Knights Hospitaller

The Knights Hospitaller were a military religious order based on Rhodes. After Acre fell in 1291, they conquered the island; in 1337 Grand Master Helion de Villeneuve ruled from there.

The knights held Smyrna from 1374 until Timur captured it in 1402, and repelled attacks on Rhodes in 1444 and 1480. In 1522 Suleiman forced them to surrender after a six-month siege. Charles V granted them Malta in 1530; they survived the great siege of 1565 and built Valletta, but Napoleon seized Malta in 1798.
