| Abstract: | In all the theatres of war in which the Order established its convent, the Hospitallers followed an unremitting aggressive policy of offensive actions. This continual belligerency roused heavy retaliation from their Muslim enemies and the Hospitallers' survival throughout nearly six hundred years of warfare was as much a result of their daring, bravery, and fighting prowess as it was due to their unceasing efforts in straightening and building fortifications. |
