Kings and Generals It’s not the best Paradox game. That would be Europa Universalis IV.
@@Matt......... At least Paradox seems fully aware of that and puts a lot of money into it. Not only in marketing (hey, they paid in part for this video, so not I complaining). Giving all updates for free and not marketing them als dlcs, which some game companys would do, shows that they at least try to please us as best as they can
And the mod that let you play in the medieval era is also nice.
Knights Templar: remembered for being wiped out by a jerk king. Knights Hospitaler: forgotten because they still exist.
Yes in Malta they still exist... I am Maltese.

It's kinda weird that the Knights hospitallers were dressed darkly as if they're going to wage war while the Templars were dressed in all white bearing a red cross as if they're medics.
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. I think in that time period field medics turned using white to be invisible in the crossfire not to be targeted. Then that tradition continued as the modern universal doctor, medic, nurse colors. 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.
"You go to certain death" "All death is certain"

Would also love to see the other “Lesser known” orders such as Livonia and Santiago
Even Poland had thier military order at one time
@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.
@Aleksa Petrovic Yeah. In any case, they should be called "lesser famous", instead of "minor".
Teutonic knights also
How about the order of at lazuras
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.
I only just found this out and I’m 56! Never too old to learn - I’m honestly fascinated by all of this! I took all of my initial emergency & standard first aid and CPR training through St John’s Ambulance, eventually working for many many years in EMS prior to shifting into canine S&R. Never knew any of this!
9:04 Hospitals, food banks , charity and "Noble brothers of the sword routinely surrendering their warhorses to provide transportation to injured men after battles" , damn thats like a offering a jeep to some wounded guy. Goddamn say what you want about faith and Christianity these were cool dudes by actions alone.
They wouldn't give their horses to them, they would just let them ride while they walked. Still nice and all.
Fun fact the hospitaller is the smallest state that participated in the colonization of the americas
@@lettuceman9439 In what way did they participate? They could be simply providing food and aid to the colonials, I could imagine charity orgs in real life aiding the wrong people because they thought it was the right thing at the time. Idk man ive seen the argument that we are all guilty for funding wars by buying Mc Donald's which in turn supplies into tax dollars for military, but if you really think about it, all I wanted was a Mc Double, a junior chicken and a 10 pack of nuggets.
@@Thefunkyrikitiki They setup a outpost in the americas after the French sold them a Island.
@@Thefunkyrikitiki The Order was relatively rich after the great Siege and Annoying the Ottoman is very profitable.
One of the most overlooked but in my opinion also the best catholic military order. Displaying bravery in battle and helping the poor and sick. What most people dont know, the order kept on fighting through the centuries, especially against the ottoman empire. At the Battle of Kosovo for example, the croatian Ban John of Palisna and his contingent of Hospitallers fought alongside the serb and bosnian armies. As always a terrific video.
Yeah, the 2nd biggest and most famous military order sure is "overlooked". Anybody with any kind of interest in the period will have heard of the Templars, Hospitallers and Teutonic Knights.
@@Melodeath00 yes anybody with any kind of interest would surely know of them. The general populace on the other hand is not familiar, which is my point. No need to be so confrontational 😉
@Бастин Џибер cristianity Is rising again in Europe Deus voult
The hospitaller actually participated in the colonization of the americas
HAJDUK ŽIVI VJEČNO🔴🔵
As a Muslim I was not expecting that kind of an order. As the name goes I always thought they were just started as army medic then went on to became full knights. They were really good fellas actually, helping and caring for the poor,sick,old,orphan and defenseless. It is sad that we had to slay each other on battlefield because of our religious differences. Great video as always!
Politics played a bigger role than religion..
F Peace be upon you.
Their core belief was always to fight for their faith both off and on the battlefield; however apart from their oaths to protect and care for the sick, their medical knowledge paled compared to the Muslims and Jews around them. This is why the lasting legacy of the Knights Hospitaliers is the paramedic and EMT service rather than the actual hospital itself.
@@lanceleader163 Wa alaykum as-salam(may peace be upon you) :)
Well, the Islamic caliphates always encroached into Christian lands.
Hospitaliers were such bros, still helping the poor and sick even when they suffered losses on the battlefield.
So pretty Much the Knights Hospitaller were the Paladin Class.
William Alfonso clerics
70mjc yours is the correct answer but most wont look at the comments to see it.
Don't they kinda fulfill both classes? Both Paladins and Clerics? As I understand it, classic Paladin is a heavy tank class, with healing spells, but Clerics can armor up too and wade in with a mace, while chucking heals as well
i will heal you, berserker style
weldonwin been decades since I elle played but my memory is that Paladins we’re allowed to use blades but didn’t have the full array of spells that Clerics did. So in regards to real world Hospitaliers and Templar’s would have been real world Paladins as they were essentially warrior-monks. And in the AD&D world Monks were their own class which didn’t use any armor, used only blunted weapons, had very few spells but had some hand to hand skills. So I guess...none of the above?
True servants of Christianity who truly reflected Christ. Noble, merciful, kind, supportive, and fierce when it counts. Im glad the order still exists
First person to talk about the piracy gets the Teutonic treatment. Let the history nerd's nerd out. The Hospitaller were badasses of righteousness!
@Johnny Clash They.... don't though, not a single word of that is racist or exclusionary, its praising the Hospitaller Order.
@Johnny Clash As a pagan, I can say your statement is pretty dumb.
@Both barrels Race and religion should be one actually. This is the mistake Christians make. European religions were a reflection of their native traditions before the spread of the Jewish death-cults.

Templars: now known as those villains from an edge-fest game Teutons: literally Prussia and Germany Hospitaliers: Forgotten, but alive and kicking
The Teutonic order is still around as well (I think they in Vienna)
The M1 treasury, which holds the largest gold reserve in the world, is headed by a Knight Hospitalier. How alive and kicking is that, amirite?
Templar remnants still exist in Spain believe it or not and no their not planning world domination and fighting the assassin order. Funnly enough the Assassins are also currently in Spain.
@@forickgrimaldus8301 Care to explain a little more?
@@EsselRey the Teutons or atleast their remnants are more charity group now than really anything relating to the old Teutons (at least if you don't count helping the poor as their main goal) basically the only ones that retained their original purpous are the Hospitallers.
Hospitalers gave the root to some words in different languages : - Hospitals and their derivations in a lot of languages. - To be "Hospitalier" literally means in French to take good care and nurture your guests. - Hospedaje in Spanish means a place to rest and find shelter. I'm sure there are more out there !
And hospitality
The Hospitaller Order is the best order. 10/10, would hospitalize again.
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.
Are
Basically the Big 3 Holy Orders are basically specialists on certain areas. Hospitaliers = Health Care Templars = Banking Teutons = State craft.
*Slaps wall* This bad boy can fit so many *crusaders* in it

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.
I will be honest that this order is my favorite out of all the Crusading Orders.
Knights of Lazarus. Specifically designed to handle diseases like Leprosy.
@@mattaffenit9898 were they active during the Crusades, this is the first time I've heard that order tho
@@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.
@@danxdanx8877 Ordensstaat would like to know your location.
Their uniforms are cooler than other Orders
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
@ Will Girvan - presumably because they were originally a hole-y order.
@@lomax343 not gonna lie, that was terrible and brilliant at the same time
@B Whit Indeed so. St John's ambulances have associations (of varying sizes) in most Commonwealth countries.

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
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.
@@liampeam1235 em you will find it's know as The Maltese cross , also none as the st Johns cross , suggest you do some more research
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.
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.

Hello gamer friend
@@rocekth BROTHER!
I hear there are some Corona is in the holy land....
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.
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.

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.
A video series focusing on the military knightly orders!? Starting with the Hospitaller? Christmas is coming early!
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.
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.
I love the art, they make the visualization of certain events look easy. Great job!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
This was my very first Kings & Generals video, and I must say I’m as impressed as I am informed! Shout out to my man Sean for sending me this video in particular and recommending this channel as a whole!

Lived in Malta for a while. this is the video i was hoping to see long ago...thanks!
Fascinating video. I had some knowledge of this order, but this helped expand that base understanding.
@Kings and Generals. You guys never cease to make me smile with these historical vids. Absolute joy hits me every time I watch one. If you guys need more sponsors I would recommend Crusader Kings2. They are semi-historically based conquering empire game and I think they would be thrilled at the chance to promote their new upcoming game with your channel. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

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
Let's not forget the Knights of St. Lazarus and the Knights of Santiago.
I riot if we don't get the OST
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.

Where are the other two videos for the Teutonic and Templar knights?
Loving these videos about different societies and knightly orders. Devin, you should read the book “The Templars and The Assassins: The militia of Heaven” which follows both groups more in depth. After seeing your video on the Hashashin I think you may have already, but if you haven’t, it’s worth a read.
I loved the illustrations in this video, great job!
from a gameplay channel to this! Amazing, you're getting better and better.
Teutonic Knights: Origins next please🥺🥺
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.
Absolutely love Paradox sponsoring these!
Finally! Ive been waiting for this
Knights Hospitallers: Overall Good Guys

Great series! Looking forwards to the other episodes :) Gotta admit though, i know very little about the knights of santiago and would have liked a video on them aswell :)
From where knights hospitallers came? Simple... They came from medieval hospitals... Medieval problems need medieval solutions
