coatkilikia.pngThe relationship between the Armenian and Maltese peoples has very ancient historical roots, starting in 1097.
The Maltese Order (The Jerusalem Order of Hospitallers) became land owner in Kilikian Armenian Kingdom in since 1149. The Order was granted by a castle in the vicinity of Mamestia city in 1163, and during the reign of Levon II – by two castles in Selevkia. Besides, the Hospitaller Order had purchased lands in it's disposal as well. The Order didn’t have the right of exterritorialy, but it had immunity as vassal of the Rubenids (Armenian Royal Dynasty). But their vassalage had a particular character. The matter is that it had double subordination. The Order was created by the agreement and benediction of the Rome Pope and thus, as an ecclesiastical organization, it was subjected to its supreme suzerain - the Pope. And only with his agreement the Order chose its society suzerain. The head of the Order was the Knight Commander. The Comman180px-hetoumian.svg.pngder through the Great Master, who was situated in Jerusalem and later in Cyprus, was subjected to the Pope. But in his turn the Commander had to carry his vassal service for the princes and kings of those countries where the Order was situated. Charters given by the great princes and kings of Cilicia to the Jerusalem Order of Hospitallers testify that the grants carried the character beneficences. The vassal service of the Jerusalem Order of Hospitallers concluded in providing of military assistance to Armenian State. The grants were temporary and conditional. This circumstance appears from the fact that every charter should be certainly confirmed by the heir of the donator when he came into power. Seigniors (Armenian kings) in their turn, had to comply with the inviolability of ownership of the Order (vassal) as long as it carried its service. Finally, there was another peculiarity in the location of the Jerusalem Order of Hospitallers in Armenian Cilicia. It wasn't imposed by taxes as it was upon other vassals. As a result of this and 545px-armoiries_chypre_1393.svg.pngother facts of intercourse the Armenian noblemen adopted the institution of knights. The Order existed in Cilicia until 1375. After the fall of Kilikian Armenian Kingdom many Armenian knights and simple citizens migrated to Malta. The second mass migration of the Armenians took place in 1915 after the Armenian genocide in Ottoman Empire. The basic part later moved to other European countries.
