Order of Malta (English: Ordre militaire de Malte) [France]

Japanese: マルタ騎士団 - マルタきしだん(英語表記)Ordre militaire de Malte[フランス]
Order of Malta (English: Ordre militaire de Malte) [France]
Successor to the Knights of John. Since 1309 it has been the Knights of Rhodes, and was renamed in 1530 when Holy Roman Emperor Charles V handed over the island of Malta to the Order. It has continued to exist under this name even after the island was seized by Napoleon I in 1798. The Order's mission at the time of its founding (1113) was to provide relief for pilgrims and fight in the Crusades, and even after the Crusades failed, it did not abandon its strategy against Islam, relentlessly fighting the Ottoman Turkish army in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is known for its tradition of running hospitals and its naval power.
