Schisms in the Iberian Military Orders during the Middle Ages
Abstract
Over the course of the history of the hispanic military orders during the Middle Ages, this article examines the naming or action of more than one master at the same time, the deposition of masters, and disputed elections. It proposes a typology for the schisms considered: conjunctural, consolidated and irreversible. The monarchy’s interventions and the orders’ loss of independence also receive consideration. In many respects, the article provides a holistic view of the orders, and especially that of Calatrava, during those centuries.Format
