The Knights of St. John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, were originally established in the 11th century to provide care for sick and injured pilgrims in the Holy Land. Over time, their role expanded to include military functions, as they defended Christian territories during the Crusades. They also engaged in maritime activities, protecting trade routes and conducting naval warfare against rival powers. Additionally, they became involved in governance and administration, managing territories in Europe and the Mediterranean.
