review: Editorial Reviews Review Morton's detailed monograph is a most welcome addition to the paucity of Anglophone studies on this important military order. . Morton's book has gone a long way to reclaiming the Teutonic Knights' rightful place as one of 'the three houses' that so influenced events in the thirteenth-century Holy Land. ― MEDIAEVISTIK A very useful guide to the politics of the kingdom of Jerusalem in the thirteenth century, [which] will fill gaps in many a reading list. ― ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW An extremely impressive study offering a number of new insights. [Its] thoroughness is impressive. The appendices, which list masters, properties, crops, marshals, and grand commanders, are especially helpful. Grounded in the sources and informed by perceptive analysis, this is a rare work that delivers everything that its title promises. For students of the military orders, it is an extremely valuable contribution. ― SPECULUM Morton is a sure-footed and reliable guide. His grasp of the issues is sound and his familiarity with both sources and bibliography hard to fault. [...] Well-organised, comprehensive and judicious, Morton's book is a welcome addition to the literature on the military orders. ― JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY A scholarly analysis [and] a very thorough history. ― MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW About the Author Dr NICHOLAS MORTON is Lecturer in History at Nottingham Trent University.
