Episode Malta 1802: The Treaty of Amiens and the Return of the Knights
In 1802, the Treaty of Amiens briefly restored the Order of St. John to Malta after Napoleon's ouster. But the Maltese people had other ideas. This episode explores the short-lived return, the role of Alexander Ball, the Declaration of Rights drafted by the Maltese National Congress, and how the island's fate was sealed by the resumption of war between Britain and France. We delve into the diplomatic maneuvering, the British reluctance to leave, and the eventual end of the Knights' era.
