Only the Knights Hospitaller stood between the Muslim Ottoman Empire and Christian Europe in the year 1565. The knights ruled the tiny island of Malta in the Mediterranean. If it fell to the invading Ottomans, then nothing could stop the Ottoman Turks dominating Europe. The kings and queens of Christian countries across the continent were terrified. It was up to the Knights Hospitaller to hold the line. Would they be able to do it? TV historian Tony McMahon reveals in this exclusive video what happened next. This is a rollercoaster ride of a story from history!
