Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juillet 1099. Tandis que les croisés rescapés prennent d'assaut Jérusalem, qu'ils mettent à sac dans leur folie meurtrière, frère Gérard, déjà appelé " l'hospitalier ", poursuit inlassablement son œuvre de bienfaisance en plein cœur de la tourmente, des massacres et des incendies. Soigner malades et blessés des deux camps, telle est la mission qu'il s'est imposée. Ainsi naît la première association d'aide humanitaire ; l'Ordre de Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem. Des combats en Terre sainte aux batailles navales en Méditerranée, cette fresque narre le parcours de l'Ordre au fil des siècles. Les chevaliers-soldats jurent de ne jamais reculer, de combattre à un contre trois, de ne jamais se rendre, de ne jamais baisser la bannière de l'Ordre. Devenus moines-marins, ils sont de toutes les batailles et redoutés des plus illustres corsaires et pirates. Et s'ils en sortent vainqueurs, ce n'est souvent qu'au prix du sacrifice de nombre d'entre eux. Juin 1565. Au lever du soleil, jour de la Saint-Jean, fête de l'Ordre des moines et de leur saint patron, un spectacle odieux attend les assiégés du fort Saint-Ange. Ils découvrent, flottant sur le chenal, cloués à des pièces de bois, les cadavres de leurs frères morts au Saint-Elme. Les Turcs les ont revêtus de leur soubreveste rouge de combat mais, au-dessous, les Hospitaliers ont la poitrine ouverte en forme de croix. Tous ont le cœur arraché, la tête tranchée.

Download or read book The Hospitallers the Mediterranean and Europe written by Nikolas Jaspert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern study of the Hospitallers, of other military-religious orders, and of their activities both in the Mediterranean and in Europe has been deeply influenced by the work of Anthony Luttrell. To mark his 75th birthday in October 2007 twenty-three colleagues from ten different countries have contributed to this volume. The first section focuses on the crusading period in the Holy Land, considering the Hospital in Jerusalem, relations with the Assassins, finances, indulgences, transportation and the careers of the brothers and knights. The second and third sections move to the later Middle Ages, when the Hospitallers had their centre on Rhodes, and military and charitable activities in the East had to be supported with men and money from the West. The papers in the second section consider the Hospitallers on Rhodes, relations between Rhodes and the West and plans for crusades, while the third section includes papers on the Hospitallers in the Iberian Peninsula and in Hungary, the territorial administration of the Order of Montesa in Valencia, a plan to transfer the headquarters of the Teutonic Order from Prussia to Frisia, and a Hospitaller reconsideration of warfare and learning on the eve of the council of Trent. The final paper proposes new definitions and guidelines for future work on the military-religious orders. The authors include both well-known experts and younger scholars who promise to follow in the footsteps of Anthony Luttrell and to continue research into the Hospitallers and their fellow orders, these peculiar European communities avant la lettre.

Download or read book French Chivalry written by Sidney Painter and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1940. Chivalry denotes the ideals and practices considered suitable for a noble. The word itself is reminiscent of the aristocratic society of medieval France dominated by mounted warriors. As early as the eleventh century, several different views of chivalric standards and behavior had appeared. During the next four hundred years, these conceptions of the ideal nobleman were developed by and for the feudal ruling class. French Chivalry studies chivalry from the perspectives of both social history and the history of ideas. The first chapter provides readers unfamiliar with medieval history the background required for understanding the chapters on chivalry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l’origine de l’ordre des hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem se trouve un hôpital fondé dans la Ville sainte au milieu du XIe siècle pour héberger les pèlerins venus prier sur le tombeau du Christ. Pendant deux siècles, les frères accueillent des voyageurs, riches ou pauvres, malades ou non, portent assistance aux déshérités et délivrent des soins médicaux aux blessés de guerre. D’abord ordre religieux, il est investi de responsabilités militaires dès le XIIe siècle avant même de devenir pleinement un ordre religieux-militaire. Pour preuve, l’apparition de frères d’armes, engagés avec les Templiers dans la défense des Lieux saints et des États latins d’Orient, et la grande forteresse du Crac des Chevaliers, qui atteste aujourd’hui encore de l’importance des moyens consacrés à cette tâche. La Terre sainte, mais aussi la péninsule Ibérique, sont le terrain d’élection de leur engagement dans les combats et la défense des forteresses. Pour mener leurs missions sur le « front », ils peuvent s’appuyer sur des ressources accumulées à « l’arrière », dans la chrétienté latine d’Occident, grâce à un puissant réseau de maisons et provinces. Chassé de Terre sainte à la chute d’Acre en 1291, l’hôpital se replie à Chypre avant de s’établir à Rhodes à partir de 1310. Assiégé par Soliman le Magnifi que, il se réfugie à Malte fi n 1521. De nos jours, l’ordre de Malte est revenu à la vocation charitable de ses débuts.
