Description:
"The military and religious orders of the Knights Templar (founded 1120) and Knights Hospitaller (founded c. 1099) were a driving force throughout the long history of the crusades." "This study examines the work of the two orders closely, using original charters to analyse their activities in their administrative heartland in southern France, and sets them in the context of contemporary religious life and economic organisation."--Jacket.
