Book Synopsis International Mobility in the Military Orders (twelfth to Fifteenth Centuries) by : Jochen Burgtorf
Book excerpt: International aspects of the military orders during the Crusades. The military orders, particularly the Templars and Hospitallers, depended upon intense West-East contacts and networks of far-reaching geographical proportions (from Spain to the Holy Land, from Scotland to northern Africa) for the exchange of personnel, goods, and money. The essays of this collection consider general aspects and individual cases; the mobilization of resources for the East; regional studies--mobility and the military orders in the West; and national considerations in the international arena.
