Abstract

The third and final session in honour of Professor Helen J. Nicholson will examine life within the Military Orders, diplomacy, and trade in England and the Mediterranean. The first paper will explore the movement of goods from Hospitaller estates in England to properties abroad by members of the orders. The next paper will examine diplomatic negotiations and trading relations between the Teutonic Order and the Baltic Prussian regions during the reign of Henry IV of England. The next paper will analyse the 16th-century case of Oswald Massingberd. It will address previously ignored issue of Hospitaller discontent and question the existing pre-conceptions of the order. The final part will feature a response by Professor Helen Nicholson following the sessions in her honour.
