Frequently Asked Questions
Are you guys Templars?
No. The Templars were a completely different order. In fact, the Hospitallers and Templars were rivals and often did not get along. The Hospitallers got the last laugh though. After the Templars were dissolved by order of the Pope, the Hospitallers inherited most of their property.
Do you get asked that question a lot?
Yes.
What is the Maltese Cross?
The Maltese Cross is the eight pointed cross seen at the top right of this webpage. It is the symbol most commonly associated with the Hospitallers.
Why don't you wear it on your robes?
The Hospitallers did not start wearing the Maltese Cross until after they had established themselves on Rhodes. We portray the order much earlier than that when they still wore a plain cross with equal length arms.
