Templar estate


Explanation:
Malcolm Barber: The New Knighthood. A history of the Order of the Temple, translated into Italian as La storia dei templari.
Page 291 shows a map called Distribuzione delle magioni templari alla fine del tredicesimo secolo, where some of the estates listed are "commanderies" (same word in English, see below), headed by commanders, others being "preceptories", run by preceptors.



... October 13, 1307, following a lengthy series of events, the bailiffs of King Philip
IV, the Fair, of France, entered the Templar Commanderies and captured ...

... The temporal benefits which the order received from all the sovereigns of Europe
were no less important. The Templars had commanderies in every state. ...

My first choice was \"Commanderie\". However, I realised that some of the \"magioni\" featured in Barber\'s map are Preceptories (Sandford for instance).
At the end of the XIII centruy, Italy housed \"magioni\" in the following locations: Fuste, Paleopolis, Lamia, Siracusa, Messina, Taranto, Brindisi, Bari, Troia, Penne, Vanna, Perugia, Siena, Lucca,(Albenga). If your description matches one of the above, try to see whether it was a Commanderie or a Preceptory.
