	The Knights of the Order of Saint John in Poland - A History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The navy of the Order of Saint John (or of Malta as it was now called) became one of the most powerful in the Mediterranean and took part in the final destruction of the Ottoman navy in the great battle of Lepanto in 1571.
		Further, a Knight who served for two years or more was to be granted the same privileges with respect to the Order as those of the Captains of the fleet of Saint John and could be short listed for the award of a Commandery.
		The Association of Polish Knights of Saint John honours the ancient obligations of the Hospitallers.

	Johanniter Order in Germany (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The German knights were never powerful enough for their case to succeed and the minor role they played in the affairs of the Order was probably partially responsible for the relatively modest support the Order enjoyed in the northern territories of the Empire.
		In 1420, with the death of his elder brother John III, Frederick (VI Margrave) became the first Elector of Brandenburg [9]and was able to reunite the Hohenzollern fiefs, beginning the consolidation of power which was to culminate in 1871 with the accession of a descendant to the Crown of Imperial Germany.
		The Arms of the commandery are: 1 and 4, for Finland, and 2 and 3, Gules, the cross of Saint John Argent.

	Medieval Times: Clipart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Knights were professional soldiers, high in the order of chivalry, bearing the most noble arms, and riding the best horses.
		The basic defensive garment of the knight was a coat of mail (often erroneously called "chain mail", a term invented in the 19th century), known as a hauberk.
		Most people have an image of knights that comes from the very end of the Middle Ages: the knight in shining armor (that is, in plate mail), who fights bravely for his lady fair, who is chivalrous and courteous and noble.

	Saint John Hospital
		The dissolution of the Order of the Knights Templar in 1312 resulted in considerable additions to the Hospitaller properties, although the charges used to bring about the downfall of the Templars were clearly false and the Masters of the Temple continued to be remembered in the prayers of the English knights.
		Every Prior of Saint John was summoned to Parliament as a Peer, in an ex-officio capacity, from 1265 until 1536 and, with the restoration of the Grand Priory in 1557, for one further Parliament.
		[14] John Noel died in exile in 1562, as did Richard and James Bell and Edward Carmus in 1583; Sir Edward Waldegrave died in prison in 1563 and Sir Thomas Mytton in 1583; Sir Marmaduke Bowes, a collateral ancestor of H.M. the Queen Mother, was hanged, drawn and quartered at York in 1585.

	The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology
		Knights joining the Order were obliged to take vows of obedience, poverty and chastity, but, especially in the following centuries - when even some popes kept mistresses and lived in worldly splendor - it is naive to expect that all members complied with these strictures.
		The Knights now moved to their possessions in Cyprus where they were additionally awarded the land holdings of the Templars, a rival Order suppressed and practically exterminated by the pope and the French king in 1307-1312.
		The new sultan, henceforth known as Mehmet the Conqueror, was not one to suffer the stranglehold that the Knights' island empire was exercising on the coasts of Turkey, but his priorities were elsewhere and it was not until 1480 that his forces besieged the city.

	Malta History 1000 AD - present
		The proper name of the Knights of St John is the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knights Hospitaler of St John of Jerusalem - the Knights of St John, the Knights of Rhodes, the Knights of Malta, and the Knights Hospitalers.
		The Knights, their luck holding out, were warned by a Turkish deserter about a plan for Senglea to be attacked from the south, and this gave the Order time to build a line of defensive stakes which successfully repulsed the attack.
		The Maltese were one with the Knights, determined, whatever the cost, to be rid of the Turkish invader-though of the nobles there is barely a word in contemporary records; presumably they sat it out in their palaces in Mdina.

	S. D. Paramedics: The Maltese Cross
		Since the Knights of John lived for close to four centuries on a little island in the Mediterranean Sea named Malta, the cross came to be known as the Maltese Cross.

	"Revived" Orders: the Order of Saint Lazarus

		A certain ritual had to be followed for the reception of a knight, in the presence of the chapter of the Order, and it is doubtful that Louis XVIII went through that trouble in Mittau.
		Knights who claimed to be members of the order had to obtain a certification from the Ministry of the Royal Household before they could even wear their insignia, but that Ministry had no record of any appointments and made no certifications.

		There is no question that the two are patron saints of Masonry, but some of the stories concerning them are as frivolous as those claiming that Noah, Moses and King Solomon were Freemasons and those claiming that the first Masonic lodge was located in Jerusalem.
		These celebrations were dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist and took place on June 24 and December 27, respectively.
		The two saints are eminent patrons of Masonry because we have preserved and continued the ancient customs of observing the summer and winter solstices and the naming of patron saints.
