They led armies, attended Parliaments, and joined court intrigues and civil wars.While the Knights Templar have long captured the public imagination, the Hospitallers were just as influential, yet their story has been left largely untold until now. From the English invasion of Ireland through to Henry VIIIs Dissolution of the Monasteries and beyond, the Hospitallers story in Britain and Ireland sees the brethren drawn into civil wars, violent feuds, duels, assassinations and witchcraft.Employing the latest research, Warrior Monks reveals the fascinating account of medieval Britain through the eyes of the Knights Hospitaller: a powerful order that made kings, toppled regimes and shaped history.
