	#-#In a sense, the Knights of Rhodes were a medieval form of a multicultural international corporation in that their members were drawn from numerous Christian Kingdoms and Principalities. They were divided into eight Langues, or Tongues, consisting of the eight European nationalities from whom its members were primarily recruited. These Langues were Auvergne, Provence, France, Aragon, Castile and Portugal, England, Germany, and Italy. In a fortress occupied by the Knights, each Langue was responsible for defending a particular section of the walls. These divisions might be thought to promote disunity, but on the other hand, they also fostered a kind of rivalry that could ultimately lift morale and prove of benefit, especially during seige conditions. Furthermore, the Knights owned estates and enjoyed the revenues of thousands of manors across these same European areas.

However, in 1462, it was announced that the Pope and the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, would lead the crusade and that Venice would provide a fleet. The Duke of Burgundy insisted on further delay, perhaps due to trouble at home or recognition that the Papal forces were in disarray and not likely to prove an effective ally for a desperate expedition. In any event, Pius II set out for Ancona with the Papal troops to meet the Venetian Doge, Cristoforo Moro. No other significant forces had shown themselves so it was inevitable that following the death of Pius II, the would-be crusaders dispersed.

Their possessions were being confiscated all over Europe, both by Catholic, and Protestant rulers, their income dwindled, their recruits stopped coming. They desperately needed a base, preferably by reconquering Rhodes, otherwise an island in the Aegean, but nobody helped and Venice opposed them. Europe was at war and there was no place for their neutrality. The emperor Carlos however came up with a master idea. He offered Malta to the Hospitallers. Malta was difficult to defend from the growing Ottoman power, but the Knights were a tough breed. They would give their life defending his shipping lines with Sicily. In 1524 the Hospitallers sent a commission to Malta. Their report was very negative. The island could not sustain itself, and the defences were very poor. Then Carlos decided to include Tripoli in the deal as a take it all or leave it all. The Knights opinion on Tripoli was even worse. They did not have the resources to upgrade its defences. But having no other option, the Chapter General decided in 1527 to accept the offer with the opposition of the French Langues. They still had hopes of recovering Rhodes, but in 1530 they gave up and moved to Malta, taking possession also of Tripoli. From then on, the Spaniards and the Knights of St. John would fight their battles in North Africa together.

Their possessions were being confiscated all over Europe, both by Catholic, and Protestant rulers, their income dwindled, their recruits stopped coming. They desperately needed a base, preferably by reconquering Rhodes, otherwise an island in the Aegean, but nobody helped and Venice opposed them. Europe was at war and there was no place for their neutrality. The emperor Carlos however came up with a master idea. He offered Malta to the Hospitallers. Malta was difficult to defend from the growing Ottoman power, but the Knights were a tough breed. They would give their life defending his shipping lines with Sicily. In 1524 the Hospitallers sent a commission to Malta. Their report was very negative. The island could not sustain itself, and the defences were very poor. Then Carlos decided to include Tripoli in the deal as a take it all or leave it all. The Knights opinion on Tripoli was even worse. They did not have the resources to upgrade its defences. But having no other option, the Chapter General decided in 1527 to accept the offer with the opposition of the French Langues. They still had hopes of recovering Rhodes, but in 1530 they gave up and moved to Malta, taking possession also of Tripoli. From then on, the Spaniards and the Knights of St. John would fight their battles in North Africa together.

	#-#Michelangelo Merisi, one of the most extraordinary painters in the history of art, was born in 1571 not far from the village of Caravaggio (near Milan) where his family came from and after which he named himself. In 1592, he moved to the 'Rome of the Popes' with the prospect of large and lucrative commissions. Once there his painting skills attracted the attention of patrons who gave him also food and lodgings. In the beginning, all of Caravaggio's early paintings were relatively small works, still-lifes, genre-scenes and a few occasional religious subjects: it was said he had used a prostitute as the model for some of his depictions of the Virgin Mary. The big chance came in 1597 with the commission of two large paintings for the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi about St Matthew's life. This commission made him famous as much as his life-style and violent behaviour made him notorious everywhere. His name appeared regularly in the protocols of the Roman police, however he received support and protection by some of the most sophisticated patrons in Rome. But in 1606 his violent temper didn't save him from murdering a person with whom he, unwilling to pay a bet on a real tennis match, got involved in a fierce fight. In hiding himself Caravaggio left Rome and went to Naples where, waiting for the Papal pardon which would allow him to return, he did some paintings. With no answer from Rome, Caravaggio left Naples and in the following year arrived on the island of Malta. In his stay on the island he painted his masterpiece 'the Beheading of St John', for which he was made Knight of the Order of Obedience. Soon his 'tormented nature' led him to quarrel with a noble knight and subsequently to escape from the island. Back to Rome he was imprisoned because of his former killing, however he managed to escape and flee to Sicily and then to Naples where he was badly wounded by two hired killers. In 1610 he decided to leave Naples and set sail to Porto Ercole in the Spanish held State of Presidi, at only 80 km far from Rome waiting for the Papal pardon. But there he was mistakenly captured by the local police and imprisoned for some days. After his release, discovering that his boat had sailed away with all of his poor belongings still on board, he was seen running insanely along the shore until he fell unconscious, caught by a raging fever which brought him to death a few days after. He was only 38 years old...

The library consisted of Balì Guerin de Tencin's own books and of other ones he bought or found out in the sacristy of Conventual Church of Saint John. At first the library numbered over 19,000 books, number augmented by books bequeathed by members of the Order. It is said that Balì Guerin de Tencin utilised the wood of the cases used in transporting the 9,700 books he bought from Cardinal Portocarrero in Rome for the shelves of his library.

Ecaterina II considered the island a great asset in her plans for expansion in the Balkans, and indeed, in 1768 a Russian squadron suddenly arrived off Malta, trying to enlist the Order's military help in their expedition against the Ottomans. Simultaneously, the empress' agents attempted to rouse the Maltese population against the Knights, and only with the help of the French royal court did the Order evade the threat. However, the French Revolution caused the Knights great financial problems, as over half of their lands were confiscated. When with the third partition of Poland the Russian Tsar took control of the Order's estates in Courland and Volyn, he decided to follow his mother's strategy, and declared himself the Protector of the Order of St. John. Distressed by the Revolution and the Knights' internal problems, Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan accepted the offer in 1797.
