| Summary: | The Inquisitor of Malta was also Apostolic Delegate, that is a permanent ambassador of the Pope as superior of the Order of St John. During the 18th Century, Grand Masters tried to increase their own regalia and to be considered as real Princes of the 'Island State of Malta'. During this process, Inquisitors became defenders of local rights, both ecclesiastical and civilian. This study throws light on the Inquisitor's political role, especially under Grand Masters Vihena, Pinto and Rohan. |
