[@asuka7309]

Some of these stories are getting it backwards, for example with the Caribbean Islands "the order" did not get them because of its influence in France. They got them because de Poincy was, besides a hospitaller, still also a French nobleman who also worked for France. He worked in the French navy, his older brother was in the service of the king's younger brother, and other members of their family were part of the colonial administration of Canada. De Poincy was sent to the Caribbean in the service of France, it's only that once he arrived he decided he wanted to start acting like he didn't have any obligations to the king and when a replacement was sent he rebelled. It was only years after his appointment that the order got involved and de Poincy had to convince them to pay for the colonies so that he could continue to rule. The order then also tried to replace him as governor but he rebelled again. The order never had any real interest in the Caribbean which is why they sold it back the second he died.

As I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, or further explanations are very welcome on this topic, the SMOM would be some sort of warring party at the very beginning of its foundation, and what in another place and situation would become the ruling elite of a country, they had the ability to maintain an integrity and remain after different wars, though loosing their possessions (which in other contexts would lead to the disappearance or disbanding of such aforementioned elites), they survived becoming some sort of semi-nomadic small and compact society... 🤔

Please don't take this as a criticism. It's just a tiny matter of English pronunciation for two words. Hospitalier is one of those English words that has survived as a mongrel mix of Freench and English from medieval times. Like the word 'hotelier', hospitalier is pronounced 'hospital-ee-err' with the French inflection on the end. It's a specific pronunciation for all the various orders of knights hospitalier in England (not that there are many of them. The other word is 'beatitude'. Just to confuse foreigners, it's pronounced 'bee-attitude'. Again, this isn't a criticism. Your English is better than at least 85 per cent of the inhabitants of the UK and your accent is only slight, but utterly dreamy to English ears.
