The Knights Hospitaller, a medieval Catholic military order founded in 1099, originally served to provide care for sick, poor, or injured pilgrims in the Holy Land. What's truly fascinating is their transformation from caretakers to a formidable military force, actively participating in the Crusades and later controlling powerful naval fleets in the Mediterranean. They even became sovereign rulers of Malta in 1530, turning the island into a fortified bulwark against Ottoman expansion.
