| Summary: |
In this article we study the presence of the Military Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, the Knights Hospitallers, in Seville. Like other Military Orders, the Knights Hospitallers first came lo the city al the time of the Reconquest and Repartimiento. Initially, both as a religious order and as civilians, they were under the orders of the Prior of the Order of St. John, or, in bis stead, of a comendador. Later, once the church had been built and a priory founded, they came under the exclusive jurisdiction of a prior, appointed by the Order lo serve the church. This priory received the name of St. John of Acre. The presence of the Knights Hospitallers grew al the end of the 15th century, with the founding of a convent of nuns of the Order of SL John in the parish of SL Mark in Seville. This convent, dedicated lo St. Elizabeth, consolidated the presence of the order, which was also known as the Order of Acre, Rhodes or Malta |
