I am currently in Malta enjoying the sun and I am completely sold on wargaming the Siege of 1565 now that I have seen the place first hand. I haven't yet been able to find a list though of the participating knights and their nationality. Usually this forum is well informed so I hope that someone might have this information available. I would be grateful for any help. |

Have you tried the local museums, or the nowadays Knights?

Well, it's fairly certain that one Jean la Vallette was present, and I vaguely remember that the only Englishman was his secretary, Oliver Starkey. No clue on the others, though. On a slightly more helpful note, try and get hold of a copy of "The Great Siege", by Ernle (that IS his correct name…) Bradford. If you are currently in Malta that should be fairly easy – when I lived out there you could get it in any shop that sold any book at all! |

Balbi di Correggia The Siege of Malta 1565 might have some more names in it too. |

Thanks for your response! I donīt care much for the shoe sizes :) but I would like to know from which countries they origin. I will make a sweep for Bradford and Balbi and see if that will give some clues. If I find anything I will post it. Cheers! |

The Great Seige is a cracking book. |
