Saints And Heroes of The Knights of St John

The formidable hero of the Great Siege, Jean Parisot de Valette, is said to have been born on the 4th of February 1495. This video looks at some of the heroes which can be found in the Co-Cathedral of St John. Don Melchior de Robles, a knight of the Order of Santiago who captained the piccolo soccorso, died before seeing the end of this siege but his courage and prevalence led him to be eventually laid to rest in St John’s. Fra’ Vespiano Malaspina, who died on the last days of the siege, is depicted by Mattia Preti (1613-1699) in the vault and so is Fra’ Adriano la Riviera and Fra’ Melchior de Monsarrat.
