From the Middle Ages until 1918, Knights of St John, religious with vows of poverty, celibacy and obedience, served in the imperial armies. The religious and hospitaller commitment of their order and the fact that it governed its own state, Malta, made these knights individuals with many loyalties and networks. For the first time, the military-historical, social-historical, religious-historical and order-historical dimensions of this special rank are scientifically examined and descriptively presented on the basis of more than 65 biographies. In this work, the historian Prof. Robert L. Dauber, who is well known for his publications on the subject, for the first time reveals a hitherto largely unknown world between monasticism and the military as well as a hitherto unknown facet of the imperial armies on the one hand and the multi-layered existence of the Knights of St John Maltese between Malta and the Empire, between religious and hospital life and military careers under imperial banners on the other.
