Teutonic Knights of Acre (House of the Hospitalers of Saint Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem)

Order Defunct 1190 CE – 1291 CE

The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem, commonly the Teutonic Order, is a German medieval military order, and becomes in modern times a purely religious Catholic order.

It is formed to aid Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to establish hospitals.

Its members have commonly been known as the Teutonic Knights, since they also serve as a crusading military order in the Middle Ages.

The military membership is always small, with volunteers and mercenaries augmenting the force as needed.
