1565 A.D. | Fifty eight bell tents and four pavilions in eight separate Turkish encampments surrounding the Maltese positions. Most of the tents have banners flying from their apexes but some are adorned with the up turned crescent moon, roof and wall panels defined, and some valance decoration visible on some of the tents. | “The Siege of Malta 1565...” | Billings, M., The Crusades, Five Centuries of Holy Wars, New York, 1996, p. 217. |
