hospitallers

Hospitallers (hos-pi-t[schwa]l-[schwa]rz). A military and religious order founded in the 12th century and so called because it built a hospital at Jerusalem to care for pilgrims. • The Crown seized all its lands and goods in England under the Grantees of Reversions Act (1540). The Hospitallers still function in several countries as a humanitarian society.
