Description
Hetalia stuff, run away if you don't care. In the back-story for little-Prussia and little-Hungary has little-Prussia being the Teutonic Knights before he became a country. So I've been wanting to draw him with the other major orders. So Teutonic Knights is on the left, Knights Hospitaller in the middle and Knights Templar on the right. The Teutonic Knights were Germanic, after the Crusades they went to Christianize Prussia. The Knights Hospitaller were Latin and fought along slide the other two orders, but spent more of their time patching up the other two; they ended up in Malta after the Crusades. The Knights Templar came from France and England areas and they hung around the Temple-Mound a lot during the Crusades and afterwords went to France. Later France up and killed them... Damn.[link] with a white background

Sorry but I got kinda confused

No. There were a lot of different orders involved in the Crusades, the Knights Templar, Teutonic and Hospitaller are just considered the main three as they were the largest.

I think the Hospitalers, Templars and Teutonics were probably bigger because they came from farther away than a lot of the orders, so they kind of came in big masses. Templars were from England and France, Teutonics were from German areas, and Hospitalers were from the Spanish peninsula.

Cause the Knights of Malta are made up from Germans, French, Spanish and Italians that at first were like Hospitalers in Jerusalemm then they got a military. Then they went to Rodi, they lost it to the Turks and then after 7 years, they ended up in Malta.

What were they called before they got to Malta? Maybe they were made up of several other orders at the start and then banded together.

I think they were first The Knights of Jerusalemm but then they got known as the Knights of St.John.

No Order of Lazarus (fought alongside the Templars-- their emblem in a vert cross on an argent field)? Or are the other three too scared they'll catch leprosy from him?

There were a number of smaller orders that fought with the Templars and Teutonics in the Crusades, these are just the three really large orders that made up the bulk of the forces.

The Knights of Lazarus were quite a large order as they took men who had contracted leprosy from every other crusading order. They were most associated with the Templars because they would deign to fight beside these 'dead men'. As they felt no pain as a side-effect of their disease they would often fight to the last man-- sometimes causing the entire order to be reduced to a few individuals. Their leprosy also took it's toll on them, causing mass deaths among the knights with enough frequency that it was allowed that their Grandmaster not need to have leprosy himself. They're also one of the few orders still in existence and do much charitable work.

hospitlars are like the fathers of the teutons... or was it the templars no i am pretty sure its the hospitlars so its fitting, that they are patching teutonic up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They patched both of them up. That was kind of their role, the Teutons and the Templars ran headlong into battle and played Superman or something and then the Hospitalers bandaged them up when they realized that they weren't invincible.

yeah guess your right, but isnt one of the crusader orders like a parent order to the teutons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, the Teutons were Germanic, the Hospitalers were from the Spanish peninsula, that's why I made him look like Spain and Templars (from France/England region) look like France.

Too much time in front of the History Channel gives a pretty good trivia base for Knights Templar, I read through the wiki article and some other places on the Teutonics and Hospitallers I don't actually know that much about. But thanks!
