| Abstract: | Between 1530 and 1798, the Maltese islands were governed by the Order of St John the Baptist of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. This military-religious organisation was made up of knights from the noble families of Europe who took religious vows; their mission statement was to care for the sick and fight the enemies of Christendom. This theocratic regime established the Magna Curia Castellaniae in September 1533 as a new tribunal, divided into two branches, a civil and a criminal one. |
