Website title:

...could hardly be happy that the Christian military orders were sworn to provide a Muslim sultan, the target of his crusading efforts, with two months' advance notice of the event, and therefore sixty days in which to make preparations to thwart his Christian purpose." p. 385

The military orders, as the rest of the kings and barons, were in reality merchants and bankers...after a few years. They made trade agreements, loaned out money at interest, signed treaties and declared raids and wars on the basis of profits and business...often colluding with their Muslim trading partners against their Christian competition.
