>>2162791

excuse me, the knights of st john did not exist at the time

they are a relatively recent offshoot of the knights of malta, they are of the same family, but they aren't what you see pictured

>>2162791
the Knights of St. John and Teutonic Order still exist though. And the Teutonic Order basically just turned into Prussia rather than collapsing.

They did nothing in the meantime really, only travel to the new world for the fountain of youth.

Teutonic, because of the dank horned helmets.

The Hospitaller antics in the mediterranean, hunting pirates and thwarting kebab invasions was GOAT.

Templar but only because they became the Order of Christ.
They were disbanded and were reconstituted in Portugal where most of the castles belong to this Order. The king protected them while the rest of Europe Persecuted them, of course so they could help with the reconquista.

The crusade was a response of the Islamic aggressive expansion. They sacked Rome where the Pope lives. They were defeating the Christian country of the Byzantine. So no Muslims weren't innocent

Templars worked with muslims sometimes. And the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem allowed all three creeds.

>The crusade was a response of the Islamic aggressive expansion

No it wasn't. "Aggressive" Islamic expansion had been checked in the 8th and 9th centuries, thanks in part to the outcome of the Battle of Tours. The First Crusade was a response to the first Komnenid Emperor asking the Papacy for aid in reclaiming parts of the Anatolia and the Levant. For whatever reason, the Franks took hold of this idea of a "holy war", which the Byzantines never particularly held.

The Crusaders were succesful in taking Jerusalem and parts of the Levant only because at the time, the various Muslim factions in the region were unstable and disunited. Their successes were never repeated, and the entire thing proved to be a fruitless endeavour: for one, the Crusaders left no mark in the area, despite being there for more than 100 years. Secondly, the Crusades arguably stirred up the Muslims and caused them to once again rear their heads towards war and expansion. Thirdly, the Crusades ultimately ended up weakening the Byzantine Empire, and allowing the Muslims to overrun into the Balkans.
