Maltese Grand Master
« on: April 18, 2010, 07:39:17 »
I received the Maltese Grand Master in the mail today. He's pretty cool, yet odd. I'm assuming he is the Grand Master of  the Knights of Hospitaller. Honestly, I know little about the Knights Hospitaller or Malta. It just seemed unique and "foreign" to me. I mean, you'd never see a Barbie or Lego in Crusades regalia.

So what can you tell me about my new Playmo? Where and when is he from? What's his number? How do you get one (besides eBay).

I really didn't have a super amount of interest in him; like, he wasn't one of my must haves primarily because like I said I know little about the Knights Hospitaller or Malta. But I happened to stumble across him again a few days ago for really cheap (90 cents), and he stayed that low I'm assuming because he was oddly labeled.

He does look nicely between the guitar player and ghost pirate though. Okay, I'm weird.

Glad to help, playmo1989.   :wave:

Here's how you can do it yourself.

1.  Find the page you're wanting to link to.

2.  Highlight the web address of the page at the top of the browser window.

3.  Right click with your mouse and on the menu click Copy.

4.  Go to the post you're writing, position the cursor where you want to put the link (it's often best to put the link on a line by itself), right click with your mouse and click on Paste.

To answer your original question Dereck...
The Knight Hospitaller were a holy order of the Kingdom of Jerusalem durring the time of the Crusades (1095-1291).
I do not know all that much about the Hospitallers as I am more intrested in their brothers the Knights Templar. Unfourtunatly the two orders did not treat eachother like brothers, and often hated each other... (Sometime I don't understand the things people do...)
They grew to be a large order, and quite powerful. The Grand Master was the order's leader.
They were originally created to build and work in hospitals, but they also trained Knights to aid the Crusaders.
That is a rough history of the Hospitallers... or what I know of them.
Hope that was helpful! :wave:
