Description Painting of one of the first Grandmasters who ruled over the islands in the sixteenth century immediately after their arrival here. Grandmaster L’Isle Adam came from one of the French Langues which at that time in history predominated within the Order, they were: The Langue of Provence; The French Langue and The Langue of Auvergne. It was still a time of uncertainty as the Order of St. John were not very willing to stay on a bare island whose only benefit were its natural harbours. All this changed after the Great Siege of 1565 when Grandmaster La Vallette realized the importance of Malta and there was nowhere better to turn into their permanent base. It was a turning point in Malta’s fortune, now the Maltese found work and more than anything else a sense of security. - MALTA
