520 |a This article discusses accounts of the 1565 siege of Malta, in which an Ottoman armada was prevented from taking the island by the vastly outnumbered Knights of St. John. Although from a military and political perspective the impact of the siege faded rapidly, histories of the siege retained religious and political meaning for a considerable length of time. Three accounts are examined in detail, one early account of the siege and two later translations. Through analysis of the alterations that have taken place in the translation process, it is possible to view the siege of Malta and its histories within the context of European religious and political affairs, and to suggest some possible reasons for its presence in English literature of the late sixteenth century.
