The Hospitaler Knights, also known as the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, originated around the time of the First Crusade (1096-99). Initially founded to care for sick pilgrims in Jerusalem, they later expanded their role to protect pilgrims on their journeys[9]. Their iconic red shield with a white cross became a symbol of protection and Christian valor throughout the Holy Land.
