Focusing on the military and religious roles of the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller, this study delves into their significant influence during the crusades, particularly in southern France. It analyzes original charters to explore their recruitment, fundraising, and communal life, while assessing their impact on crusading efforts through resource management. Dr. Selwood highlights the orders' central role in Occitanian religious life, their innovative administrative practices, and their interactions with both the Church and local society, including pilgrimage activities.
