It demonstrates that patrons donated to both military and non-military orders for family connections or spiritual benefit, rather than an interest in crusading. This has implications for the treatment of the military orders by scholars of medieval religion, who should consider them as a full part of mainstream religious life. The book focuses on the period 1291 to 1400, considering the impact of the loss of the Holy Land, the diffusion of crusade activity, the Hospitallers' career as English royal servants, and their crusade to Rhodes. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 May 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonations to the Knights Hospitaller in Britain and Ireland,1291-1400, is the first comprehensive study of donations to the Knights Hospitaller across England and Ireland during the late-thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The book reveals that patrons donated to both military and non-military orders for similar reasons, such as family connections or the desire for spiritual benefit, rather than an interest in crusading. This groundbreaking conclusion has significant implications for the treatment of military orders by scholars of medieval religion, who have traditionally either overlooked these orders entirely or relegated them to a subfield of crusade studies. By reintegrating the military orders into mainstream religious history, discussions will be furthered in a range of fields and debates, including ecclesiastical landholding, lay-church relations, the role of women in religion, and the processes of the Reformation. By focusing on the period from 1291 to 1400, the book examines the impact of the loss of the Holy Land in 1291, the subsequent diffusion of crusade activity to the Baltic and Spain, the intensification of the orders' career as English royal servants in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and the Hospitallers' crusade to Rhodes in 1309-10.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars and students of the Hospitallers, as well as those interested in medieval Britain and Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367654818\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rory MacLellan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104092975354,"sku":"9780367654818","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_729ca216-8ce5-4154-8064-7a517b3dc61c.jpg?v=1654417026","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/donations-to-the-knights-hospitaller-in-britain-and-ireland-12911400-9780367654818","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
