History
.
Commanderies will continue to exist as long as there are military orders.
Under the responsibility of Commanders, “commanderies” were places where communities of monks, knights and affiliated persons lived and acquired learning. They were sometimes located in urban areas and even in ports, if knights had acquired the monopoly of commercial privileges or the transport of pilgrims.
