It provides a survey from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries using hitherto neglected sources and identifies areas for further research and analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume first examines the historiography of the Orders, delving past the standard histories to examine their authors, readership, accessibility, advertisements. and reviews. It then discusses the material memory of the Orders, from the Temple Church in London and St. John's Gate at Clerkenwell to archaeological discoveries and romanticised stained-glass depictions. Turning next to the revival and reinvention of the Order of St John after the loss of Malta in 1798 and the foundation of the British Order based at Clerkenwell, it unravels fact from fiction in the claims of continuity with the medieval knights made by the Masonic Knights Templars. For many, memory was shaped by popular fiction as well as history, so the final part considers various literary interpretations of the Orders' history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will interest scholars and students of the Military Orders and Crusades, as well as general readers of the history of memory and reception.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Siberry\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar who has written books, chapters, and many journal articles on the memory and legacy of the Crusades and military orders in Britain, including the volumes \u003ci\u003eThe New Crusaders: Images of the Crusades\u003c\/i\u003e (2000) and\u003ci\u003e Tales of the Crusaders\u003c\/i\u003e (2021).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53642248978765,"sku":"9781032011219","price":57.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/cC9SOX2NMy9781032011219.webp?v=1775116221","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/knightly-memories-remembering-and-reinventing-the-military-orders-in-britain-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
