Abstract | The military orders, international bodies centered in the Holy Land, owned property throughout Western Europe and drew from these houses the resources which funded their activities in the East. This session will examine the orders of the Knights Templar and the Knights of St John of Jerusalem in Britain - the farthest western edge of their bureaucratic 'empires' - by exploring the organization and administration of properties at the county level and the shifting hierarchical structures of their properties in Britain in relation to the Orders's central headquarters in the East. |
