Publisher's summary

Did you know that many medieval knights were actually monks?

Listen to the stories, histories, and legends of medieval knights and the groups to which they belonged. Some are more well known than others, although all of them played a role in history.

Delve into the stories of the Knights Hospitallers and the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre as they waged war against infidels and pagans. Learn about the so-called “Leper Brothers” from the Order of St. Lazarus and why they were charged with caring for lepers at a time when they were feared and despised. Revel in the daring and courageous lives of the Teutonic Knights and the Knights Templar during the tumultuous centuries of the Crusades.

In this audiobook, you will be offered a brief glimpse into the daily lives and struggles of these knights as they served their king, pope, and liege lord, sacrificing much in the pursuit of the defense of Christendom, even to the point of being burned at the stake.

You might have heard about these medieval knights through novels and movies. However, the truth about the medieval knights is eye-opening, enthralling, and often filled with sadness and sacrifice. This audiobook contains tales of courage, devotion, and loyalty. You can expect to learn about the following:

  • The extraordinary Children’s Crusade, which was led by a 12-year-old boy.
  • The truth about the origins of the concept of chivalry.
  • How a brotherhood of monks devoted to providing care for the sick became fierce knights.
  • The lengths to which the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre went to protect the tomb of Christ.
  • The history of the Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem, whose members were dedicated and brave enough to care for lepers at a time when they were shunned.

Excellent Overview of the Most Famous Knightly Orders

This is an excellent piece for any interested in the Chivalric Orders of old. I listened to it from start to finish over the course of one shift at work and I can honestly say I will be returning to Captivating History’s works for more in the future.

General overview

It was a fun listen, however it was a really basic overview of knightly orders.
