The death of Emperor Henry VI from …
Years: 1198 - 1198
The death of Emperor Henry VI from malaria on September 28, 1197, has caused an important change: a number of German crusaders who had arrived in Palestine decide to return home.
In order to fill the gap, the German princes and bishops, together with those of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, militarize the House of the Hospitallers of Saint Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem in 1198, making it a religious order of knights.
The new order is put under a monastic and military rule like that of the Templars and Hospitallers.
It receives privileges from Popes Celestine III and Innocent III and extensive grants of land, not only in the kingdom of Jerusalem but also in Germany and elsewhere.
The members, who are nobles, take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and come to be called the Teutonic Knights.
