The heraldry of the nobility and gentry of Gozo 鈥� from medieval times until the onset of British rule 鈥� part 2

Abstract

In Part 1 of this article, I gave a general account of the nobility and gentry in and of Gozo from the time of the rule of the Maltese Islands by the Aragonese kings of Sicily up until the onset of British rule. In this Part, I am giving an account of some titles granted by the knights which are/were either based in Gozo or based in Malta, but granted to Gozitans. The one exception is the Maltese Barony of Djar-il-Bniet owing to its strong 鈥淕ozitan connection鈥�.
