Interesting up until the point that they start associating revival groups with the original knights. During the 1800s on, many, many groups took on the mantle of Templars, Knights of Malta, etc to give their organizations a connection to history. Just because the groups have the name doesn’t mean they have a direct tie to the original group.

Knights of Malta?

From what I have read, not the same knights at all!
