Sword and hat of Hospitaller Grandmaster Jean De Valette worn at the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. These items have seen some stuff. Apparently the sword feels very light to handle and is well balanced. They are located in the small church of St Lawrence in Birgu, Malta. [4053×5096].

It’s a very nice hat, but not the kind I’d associate with the Grand Master of a Holy Knightly Order.
