Knights of Malta 1523 To 1798

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. When Necker, in the financial distress of the autumn of 1789, appealed for a voluntary contribution from all landowners, the Order gave him a third of the revenue of its French commanderies, and later it pledged its credit for 500,000 francs to the destitute Louis XVI., to help him in the flight that ended so disastrously at Varennes. This last act put it in definite opposition to the Revolution.Cohen, R. is the author of 'Knights of Malta 1523 To 1798', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419228766 and ISBN 1419228765.
