The main aim of the course is to prepare undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about the history of the Knights Hospitaller with a view to further study. A secondary aim is to inform students at universities that do not offer courses in the crusades or military orders.

This three-day intensive course will focus on reading medieval primary sources for the social, economic and religious history of Egypt and Greater Syria, including Palestine during the period of the Crusades, roughly 1050-1500.

The conference will be conducted in two parts: a themed day on “The Mamluks and the Crusades” (July 23) and two days of panels with open themes (July 24-25).

The year 2026 marks the 460th birthday of the Hospitaller convent-city of Valletta, in Malta, on 28 March 1566. Taking its cue from this anniversary, the ninth Military Orders conference will be held in Malta and focus on the theme of ‘Documents & Monuments’.

A two-day conference offering a multidisciplinary reassessment of the involvement of Pope Innocent IV in crusading.
