The Imaginative Conservative: Knight of Malta and Shield of Europe
Jean Parisot de Valette, Grand Master of the Knights of Malta, led a small force to defend Malta against a much larger Ottoman army during the Great Siege of 1565. His leadership was crucial in preventing Turkish control of the Mediterranean, which would have threatened Europe.
Despite his heroism, Valette's personal life was complex, and he is often overlooked in modern discussions of history. The sacrifices of the 2,500 defenders, who fought valiantly under his command, deserve recognition alongside his legacy.
