History

In 1191, the Frenchman Garnier de Naplouse served as the Grand Master of the Hospitaliers. In secret, he was also one of the nine leaders of the Knights Templar in the Levant and a subordinate to the Templar Grand Master Robert de Sablé.[1][2][3] Garnier held a nefarious reputation for his multiple scandals of human experimentation that led to his exile from France and Tyre.[1][3] He was killed in 1191 by the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad on the orders of the Levantine Brotherhood's Mentor, Al Mualim, in the midst of performing his experiments on patients—actually slaves provided by the Templar Talal—at the Hospitalier Fortress in Acre.[2][3]

During the early 16th century, the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalier aided his traditional Templar allies by having his forces capture several Assassins and holding them at his palace in Rhodes.[4]

By the mid-18th century, the Portuguese nobleman Manuel Pinto da Fonseca served as the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalier and maintained the Order's centuries-old alliance with the Templars. Facing opposition from both the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of France, who were secretly influenced by the Assassins, Manuel petitioned Reginald Birch, the Grand Master of the British Templars, for help in 1747.[5] Manuel's calls would eventually be answered by the Colonial Templar Shay Cormac, who used his fleet to send military and financial aid to the Hospitalier forces in Malta during the Seven Years' War.[6]
