@DeSPoTNemanjaSBrothers of Dobrzyń they where supposed to protect Polish borders against raids from Pagan Prussians and Lithuanians. But they never got any big and where assimilated into Teutonic Order.
The knights hospitaller became famous for not only treating wounded Crusader knights with highly advanced medical treatment but also soldiers of the enemy as well. This order eventually morphed by various paths into the order of St john of Jerusalem and then The St John Ambulance Service
The Order is still the same order, which is called the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhodes, and Malta or Sovereign Military Order of Malta for short. There are Protestant groups that have broken away. The Saint John's Ambulance Services are either run by the original Catholic order or one of the Protestant break offs.
The Knights of Malta, that service to all is still respected to this day in the Muslim world with the Knights current charitable efforts being viewed positively because of that history.

Religious Military Orders were quintessencial to the formation of my country, Portugal, during the XII and XII centuries. Crusaders on route to the Holly Land assisted our first king, D. Afonso Henriques, on the successful siege of Lisbon against the Muslims, and even his father, Count D. Henrique of Burgundy, came to the Peninsula as a knight on Crusade. Various donations were given to orders such as the Templars and Hospitallers throughout Portugal, but also to other minor orders, such as the Avis, that would eventually give name to the second dinasty of Portuguese kings, when one of its grand masters became the king D. João I. Curious fact - which I hope K&G will bring up in the Templars episode - after the fatal order to exterminate the Knights Templar was given, and this order was virtually extinguished, king D. Dinis managed to "save" them and preserve it in the form of the newly established _Ordem_ _de_ _Cristo_ - or Order of Christ. Their symbol is well present in Portugal's golden age, in the sails of the ships that crossed the unknown oceans. It still exists in Portugal, and its Grand Master is the acting President of the Republic. Edit: Spain also has incredibly important orders of this sort to their own History, such as Santiago Order and Calatrava Order.
I'm not denying the work these men did in the middle ages and I'm sure many low ranking knights were well meaning, but be warry of the people in power for often times it is the enemy who put them in place, desguised as ministers of Light.
the holocaust of the muslims of spain is nothing to be proud of, as a somali im proud we defeated the portoguesse crusaders in many battles and even killed cristavo da gama, the son of vasco da gama if am not wrong. the portoguesse managed to capture some arab cities in the arabian peninsula and the swahili coast but they never managed to capture a single city from the somalis.
Was this the same Joao who defeated the Spanish King Juan at Aljubarrota? They're both named John, gotta use those dialectics to distinguish between them.
The largest charitable ambulance body in Britain is the St John's Ambulance Brigade. This was formed in 1877, by the successors of the Order of St John. To this day, all their ambulances are marked with a Hospitaller cross.
@@laudeinvicta7113 Sort of? They mostly just helped lepers with their leprosy as best they could. Some did fight, though. The cross of Lazarus was green, so you would have seen so-called "Leper-Knights" wearing green crosses. Edit: No, the knights themselves didn't have Leprosy to my knowledge. The name just kinda stuck with them.
this is so interesting, my country's flag actually has the St'John cross on it, and they also protected our country from the turks in their invasion. Also during their time in Malta they have built our capital city taking the name of "Valletta" named after the Knight Hospitaller "Jean Parisot de Valette"
Andrea Cassar If you are talking about the National flag of Malta it’s the george cross which was rewarded to the citizens of Malta during world war 2 as nazi and Italian bombers attacked malta for a period of 2 years. I’ve researched it a lot because my Nanna was in the bunkers at the time while she was a baby so I kinda gotta know.
One of my personal dreams in life is to visit Malta. It has such a unique and rich history and is filled with natural beauty. All of western civilization is indebted to the Maltese people. They withstood the two greatest sieges in all of history (at least in terms of ferocity, others were technically larger and longer) with courage and dignity.
Magnificent video once again! As an historian myself, specialist on Antiquity and the Middle Ages, I wholeheartedly congratulate and thank you for all your work since you began the channel! I will seek to do subtitles in Portuguese for the video and add them to it.
@@kamilszadkowski8864 yes but no. The Templars are inspired by multiple Knight Orders, including the Hospitallers. I mean, just look at the logo of the Black Templars and the Knight Hospitalller emblem
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment Yeah, they are most likely a mix of different Orders but considering that they wear black crosses over white tunics (just like Teutonic Knights) and that they were founded by Siegfried ( a guy with germanic name) and that they are extremely fanatical and genocidal points towards Teutonic Order as the main inspiration for the Black Templars. Although they are clearly using maltese cross just like the Knights Hospitaller did.
Can you cover the Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, also known as the Leper Brothers of Jerusalem or simply as Lazarists. It would be kind of interesting to show the other not so well-known groups

As surprising as it may sound, the local hospital used to be run by the order hospitaller, it's still very much in living memory! It's only been a few decades since the hospital was turned over to the municipality.
@@jayturner3397 Québec Canada... I won't dox myself but historically the whole province was very Catholic until the quiet revolution. And before then the church ran politicians, hospitals, charities...they controled lots, well used to...
The Knights of Malta aka Hospitallers run hospitals, ambulance services, a huge worldwide charity and have land holdings, they are a pseudo country with a passport recognized by over one hundred countries, they control a small section of Rome.
Yeah, and they've spent a considerable part of their history on fighting other Christian states starting with backstabbing Hungarians and later Poles. If anyone was badass in this story that would be the baltic tribes that fought to the last against an opponent that enjoyed technological advantage and outside support.
Kamil Szadkowski different periods of time. The initial Teutonic Knights were pretty decent, then got bloated with wealth and land and started to follow their own interests....
My uncle took a deep dive into our family tree through dna and old records. He discovered our ancestor was Raymond du Puy, Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Proud to have his name in our family tree. I can only hope to one day live up to his legacy.
I was just talking about france, and no the battle of tours stopped the ummayad caliphate in Aquitaine with a resounding victory wherein the french killed 12,000 muslims with only 1000 dead. The entire middle east was conquered by european powers. The only ones who weren't conquered in any extended period of time was the turks who were occupied and saudi arabia. And wasn't the barbary states literally got destroyed by a few american ships when the states was just a 20+ year old country? So please, don't make this a game of who is mightier. The U.S destroyed afganistan because of 2000 people dead from a terrorists attack
The longest war, I think you meant the longest occupation. War was over years ago. Afganistan was occupied by american forces because just as trump said, the reason why the army is there is to prevent terrorist cells from forming because its better to kill them there than to have civilian americans be harmed back home. There was no peace to be made, just a return of american forces. Similarly to how the americans occupied the japanese and left them after some years except with the japanese, they were able to work with the americans and build a better country while the afganistanis wasted the chance.
I think this was a great idea for a video. You guys are amazing. The Hospitallers sound very impressive. And they don't nearly get enough credit as opposed to the Templars or the Teutonic Knights. I will be waiting in great anticipation for the next two video's to come out. Hope it's not too long. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.
I swear your channel is more entertaining than History Channel has been in years. It's quality, it's fun, it's educational and entertaining. Love it. And the artwork. Inspires me to draw
Although largely unknown in the United States, the Order is still offering a network of medical services in some parts of the world, mostly in Europe ("St. John's Ambulance Services "). They are headquartered near the Vatican, have diplomatic relations with many countries, and have an official "Observer's" seat at the United Nations.
The Templars were done in by a greedy, murderous, evil King. They were hunted down, imprisoned. tortured and killed. The King became the beneficiary of all they Templars owned. The Templars had the mission of patrolling the route to Jerusalem and protecting the pilgrims.
Thank you! been awaiting this series with great anticipation! These orders all have a fascinating history, ever-changing forms and take part in some of the middle-ages greatest events, with some orders even surviving past the late middle ages.
This is really good @Kings and Generals. I am a fan of your work. The Hospitallers effected history in a powerful way, more than the average person understands, so thank you so much for this video.
I live in Poznan, Poland. In my city the Hospitalliers recived land and small church from the local duke in year 1187 AD. They also build there a hospital which still exists and is run by them till today. First both the church and hospital were outside city walls so the church was named: "The Church of Saint John of Jerusalem outside the walls". Later when city grew that dictrict of the city was named "Komandoria" (means Commandery of the Order) and the lake next it was named "Malta lake" because later the seat of the order was moved to Malta. The first Polish member of the Knights Hospitaler Order was probably (its not 100% confirmed) duke Henry I of Sandomierz ( who lived in years 1131 - 1166). He was the first Polish feudal lord who led Polish knights for crusade in Holy Land, never married and had no children. He also established of a commandery of the Hospitallers which was probably the oldest in Poland. He died on his own organised crusade against the pagan Prussians.
Do you have a problem with Saracen invaders stealing YOUR empire? Do you have a super big problem with these heathen navies? Take some knights, put them through medical school, and give them an island or two to rule!
Wrong. Popular opinion, because they're mine as well. I am in healthcare and my hobbies are BJJ, heavy lifting, shooting stuff and bankrupting my kingdom by building hospitals everywhere after a crusade in CK2. Hospitallers speak to my heart.
I got a chance to go to Israel last year and tour some Hospitaller and Templar castles and the one Teutonic castle as well, in the holy land. It’s funny I was at Beth Gebelin castle last year and it is literally in ruins but there is a Delek gas station in front of the castle ruins. If you didn’t know what it was you’d drive right past it.
That would've been perfect for April 1st.

Keep it up... You are a blessing in such grave and adverse times the world lives today...
A lover of such topics. Suggestions: 1. Can you include the battles they, the orders, took part in? 2. Can you give the whole story, from origins to either the end or legacy of said orders? 3. Like what @Eliphas suggested, hope you can also include smaller orders. This would help for in the film, "Kingdom of Heaven" for example, there were numerous orders there and it would be nice to know their origins as well. Keep up the good work on these videos. I am a big fan and love them. Take care always, God bless and stay safe.
Dude, I on the other hand, waiting for my favorite Knights of Calatrava, my only trusted vassal during Reconquista Wars in Crusader Kings 2. Oh! I wish K&G feature some Mount and Blade Bannerlord animations next time
Interesting video. My conception of the Hospitallers was "Group of knights that has a weird name because they were associated with a hospital at one point" but apprently they were more like armed social workers than an army.
Wonderful video! But there is so much more to talk about! Like how after the Christians were expelled from the Levant the Hospitallers transformed themselves into the best pirates in the Med and were at the forefront of fortification science. While the Templar’s found themselves victims of French treachery and were destroyed, the Hospitallers turned Rhodes into a many-hundred year thorn thrust right into the heart of Islam. The 2 sieges of Rhodes are among the most dramatic in history, eclipsed nonetheless by the Great Siege of Malta in 1565 which catapulted an entirely anachronistic (at that point) Crusading Order into one of the most celebrated groups in history and the only Crusading era Order to survive and be relevant until the Napoleonic era. So much to include! Anyway, thanks for this video and look forward to the others.
Kings and Generals is doing an exceptional job on youtube with their videos. Well-researched subjects with gorgeous animations. I’ve watched 5, 6 videos every day... WW2 battles, medieval histories. Thank you, K & G.

Not always The medics used white. In The great 14th century plague and later until 18th century The medics used mainly Black and plain robbes.
Symbols change over tone
I think black was used as a medical symbol since it also represented death. Then in more modern times white replaced black for warfare issues. In the musket warfare era the white smoke from the black powder rifles rendered the battlefield visibility, European armies used dark and highly colored uniforms, shiny straps cross or one sided and huge hats to distinguish who is a friend who is a foe.

Then I don't know why they now use the cyran/turquois together with white.
White clothes for surgeons and medics appeared in the 1800s as a symbol of cleanliness.
The reason templars wore white is because it reflects heat which helps you keep cool in the hot desert.

- To be "Hospitalier" literally means in French to take good care and nurture your guests.

So in other words, the hospital of the Knights Hospitalers had more space for intensive care 900 years ago than my country does today.
Yeah, basically lol
same 😢😢
The Knights Hospitaller is basically a hardcore battlefield medic brigade.

Basically the Big 3 Holy Orders are basically specialists on certain areas.
Hospitaliers = Health Care
Templars = Banking
Teutons = State craft.
Hospitallers exist to this day... Nuns and missionaries still manning Hospitals around the world.
Still fighting in the frontlines of COVID19
The Rona conquers all. Well all but Chloroquine lol
They´re very active in Germany as the "Johanniter Orden" (Order of St.John) and have one of the biggest ambulance services there ("Johanniter Unfall Hilfe" or "St.John road accident help") plus they fund many hospitals,do various charity work with disabled people,retiring homes and also do relief for natural desasters.
Otto von Bismark was actually a member of the Johanniter Orden.
doubleP there is also a Johanniter order that is present in most train stations to assist the homeless.
Well they are still around but they have almost nothing in common with the Hospitalier order that existed back then.
@@doublep1980 Don't forget the Malteserorden, they're similar, protestant and as the name implies also come from the hospitallers.

@@mikeshogunlee I to want the one with jesus on it. :]
Religious Military Orders were quintessencial to the formation of my country, Portugal, during the XII and XII centuries. Crusaders on route to the Holly Land assisted our first king, D. Afonso Henriques, on the successful siege of Lisbon against the Muslims, and even his father, Count D. Henrique of Burgundy, came to the Peninsula as a knight on Crusade.
Various donations were given to orders such as the Templars and Hospitallers throughout Portugal, but also to other minor orders, such as the Avis, that would eventually give name to the second dinasty of Portuguese kings, when one of its grand masters became the king D. João I.
Curious fact - which I hope K&G will bring up in the Templars episode - after the fatal order to exterminate the Knights Templar was given, and this order was virtually extinguished, king D. Dinis managed to "save" them and preserve it in the form of the newly established _Ordem_ _de_ _Cristo_ - or Order of Christ. Their symbol is well present in Portugal's golden age, in the sails of the ships that crossed the unknown oceans.
It still exists in Portugal, and its Grand Master is the acting President of the Republic.
Edit: Spain also has incredibly important orders of this sort to their own History, such as Santiago Order and Calatrava Order.
I'm not denying the work these men did in the middle ages and I'm sure many low ranking knights were well meaning, but be warry of the people in power for often times it is the enemy who put them in place, desguised as ministers of Light.
the holocaust of the muslims of spain is nothing to be proud of, as a somali im proud we defeated the portoguesse crusaders in many battles and even killed cristavo da gama, the son of vasco da gama if am not wrong. the portoguesse managed to capture some arab cities in the arabian peninsula and the swahili coast but they never managed to capture a single city from the somalis.
@@osmanwarsama6046 You're a Somali, you literally don't even have a country to be proud of.

@@Cowslippoetry yes
The largest charitable ambulance body in Britain is the St John's Ambulance Brigade. This was formed in 1877, by the successors of the Order of St John. To this day, all their ambulances are marked with a Hospitaller cross.
And if you're dying they give you mint polo

Sort of? They mostly just helped lepers with their leprosy as best they could. Some did fight, though. The cross of Lazarus was green, so you would have seen so-called "Leper-Knights" wearing green crosses.

this is so interesting, my country's flag actually has the St'John cross on it, and they also protected our country from the turks in their invasion. Also during their time in Malta they have built our capital city taking the name of "Valletta" named after the Knight Hospitaller "Jean Parisot de Valette"
andrea cassar i mean... they did own the island
Templars founded switzerland
Andrea Cassar If you are talking about the National flag of Malta it’s the george cross which was rewarded to the citizens of Malta during world war 2 as nazi and Italian bombers attacked malta for a period of 2 years. I’ve researched it a lot because my Nanna was in the bunkers at the time while she was a baby so I kinda gotta know.
One of my personal dreams in life is to visit Malta. It has such a unique and rich history and is filled with natural beauty. All of western civilization is indebted to the Maltese people. They withstood the two greatest sieges in all of history (at least in terms of ferocity, others were technically larger and longer) with courage and dignity.

Ah, yes, the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter
Black Templars were inspired by Teutonic Order, not the Knights Hospitaler.
There actually is a Space Marine Chapter in 40K called the Hospitallers, who protect Imperial pilgrimage routes and sites.
@@kamilszadkowski8864 yes but no. The Templars are inspired by multiple Knight Orders, including the Hospitallers. I mean, just look at the logo of the Black Templars and the Knight Hospitalller emblem
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment Yeah, they are most likely a mix of different Orders but considering that they wear black crosses over white tunics (just like Teutonic Knights) and that they were founded by Siegfried ( a guy with germanic name) and that they are extremely fanatical and genocidal points towards Teutonic Order as the main inspiration for the Black Templars. Although they are clearly using maltese cross just like the Knights Hospitaller did.
I would lean towards the teutonic order more than the hospitalliers in regards to the black templars
Can you cover the Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, also known as the Leper Brothers of Jerusalem or simply as Lazarists. It would be kind of interesting to show the other not so well-known groups
Well that would be great
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva wasn't their main purpose to treat lepers?
They should cover the Order of the Holy Sepulchre and the Kingdom of Jerusalem also.
St. Baldwin the Leper knight is very well known for smashing through the heathen saracen army.

Let's not forget the great american library of knowledge
Hollywood
and most of north africa and parts of the levant speaks french for how the french conquered you all.
I was just talking about france, and no the battle of tours stopped the ummayad caliphate in Aquitaine with a resounding victory wherein the french killed 12,000 muslims with only 1000 dead. The entire middle east was conquered by european powers. The only ones who weren't conquered in any extended period of time was the turks who were occupied and saudi arabia. And wasn't the barbary states literally got destroyed by a few american ships when the states was just a 20+ year old country?
So please, don't make this a game of who is mightier. The U.S destroyed afganistan because of 2000 people dead from a terrorists attack
The longest war, I think you meant the longest occupation. War was over years ago. Afganistan was occupied by american forces because just as trump said, the reason why the army is there is to prevent terrorist cells from forming because its better to kill them there than to have civilian americans be harmed back home.
There was no peace to be made, just a return of american forces. Similarly to how the americans occupied the japanese and left them after some years except with the japanese, they were able to work with the americans and build a better country while the afganistanis wasted the chance.
Thank you paradox for supporting this channel and for your free content for the game
I think this was a great idea for a video. You guys are amazing. The Hospitallers sound very impressive. And they don't nearly get enough credit as opposed to the Templars or the Teutonic Knights.

Although largely unknown in the United States, the Order is still offering a network of medical services in some parts of the world, mostly in Europe ("St. John's Ambulance Services "). They are headquartered near the Vatican, have diplomatic relations with many countries, and have an official "Observer's" seat at the United Nations.

I always thought the Hospitaller’s were way cooler than the Templars. The fact that they held on as an organization for so long is so crazy.
The Templars were done in by a greedy, murderous, evil King. They were hunted down, imprisoned. tortured and killed. The King became the beneficiary of all they Templars owned. The Templars had the mission of patrolling the route to Jerusalem and protecting the pilgrims.
I'm really liking the graphics and how you use it to tell the stories. You seem to be going to a higher level.
thanks for watching!
Thank you! been awaiting this series with great anticipation!
These orders all have a fascinating history, ever-changing forms and take part in some of the middle-ages greatest events, with some orders even surviving past the late middle ages.
This is really good @Kings and Generals. I am a fan of your work. The Hospitallers effected history in a powerful way, more than the average person understands, so thank you so much for this video.
I live in Poznan, Poland. In my city the Hospitalliers recived land and small church from the local duke in year 1187 AD. They also build there a hospital which still exists and is run by them till today. First both the church and hospital were outside city walls so the church was named: "The Church of Saint John of Jerusalem outside the walls". Later when city grew that dictrict of the city was named "Komandoria" (means Commandery of the Order) and the lake next it was named "Malta lake" because later the seat of the order was moved to Malta. The first Polish member of the Knights Hospitaler Order was probably (its not 100% confirmed) duke Henry I of Sandomierz ( who lived in years 1131 - 1166). He was the first Polish feudal lord who led Polish knights for crusade in Holy Land, never married and had no children. He also established of a commandery of the Hospitallers which was probably the oldest in Poland. He died on his own organised crusade against the pagan Prussians.
Where are the other two videos for the Teutonic and Templar knights?
Do you have a problem with Saracen invaders stealing YOUR empire? Do you have a super big problem with these heathen navies? Take some knights, put them through medical school, and give them an island or two to rule!
great promo lol
Unpopular opinion: hospitallers have always been my favorite order
Wrong. Popular opinion, because they're mine as well. I am in healthcare and my hobbies are BJJ, heavy lifting, shooting stuff and bankrupting my kingdom by building hospitals everywhere after a crusade in CK2. Hospitallers speak to my heart.
I always liked knights hospitaller as well.
I liked them more than Templars or Teutonic order.
It isn't really an opinion if your statement is that there your favourite order.
Hell, if you really want to you can join the order as they still exist.
Knights hospitaller are one of my fav cavalry units in Medieval 2 Total War! So I agree
I got a chance to go to Israel last year and tour some Hospitaller and Templar castles and the one Teutonic castle as well, in the holy land. It’s funny I was at Beth Gebelin castle last year and it is literally in ruins but there is a Delek gas station in front of the castle ruins. If you didn’t know what it was you’d drive right past it.

Lived in Malta for a while. this is the video i was hoping to see long ago...thanks!
A lover of such topics.
Suggestions:
1. Can you include the battles they, the orders, took part in?
2. Can you give the whole story, from origins to either the end or legacy of said orders?
3. Like what @Eliphas suggested, hope you can also include smaller orders. This would help for in the film, "Kingdom of Heaven" for example, there were numerous orders there and it would be nice to know their origins as well.

Interesting video. My conception of the Hospitallers was "Group of knights that has a weird name because they were associated with a hospital at one point" but apprently they were more like armed social workers than an army.
lmao armed social workers, i can get behind for that
“You head to certain death”
Hospitaller: “All death is certain….”
Wonderful video! But there is so much more to talk about! Like how after the Christians were expelled from the Levant the Hospitallers transformed themselves into the best pirates in the Med and were at the forefront of fortification science. While the Templar’s found themselves victims of French treachery and were destroyed, the Hospitallers turned Rhodes into a many-hundred year thorn thrust right into the heart of Islam. The 2 sieges of Rhodes are among the most dramatic in history, eclipsed nonetheless by the Great Siege of Malta in 1565 which catapulted an entirely anachronistic (at that point) Crusading Order into one of the most celebrated groups in history and the only Crusading era Order to survive and be relevant until the Napoleonic era. So much to include! Anyway, thanks for this video and look forward to the others.
Our order was expelled from Malta by Napoleon, but we are still very much around today.
