Produktbeschreibung

At the heart of this volume is a concern with exploring levels of interaction between two particular objects of study, islands on the one hand, and military orders on the other. 1291 was a significant year for the main military orders: uprooted from their foundations in the Holy Land, the Hospitallers above all took refuge on islands but found themselves vulnerable to those who questioned their continued existence. Islands can be seen to be embodiments of 'insularity', separate, distinct; Military Orders are international in scope, nature and personnel. Therein lies the crux of the matter: how did insular outposts and international institutions come together to forge distinct and often successful experiments?
