On other counts the Maltese were not so happy at the arrival of the Knights. Here is a Maltese historian, Sir Themistocles Zammit, on the subject:

By the time the Knights came to Malta, the religious element in their foundation had fallen into decay. Their monastic vows were usually regarded as mere form, and they were remarkable for their haughty bearing and worldly aspirations. The Maltese, on the other hand, accustomed to be treated as freemen greatly resented the loss of the political liberties which had been conceded to them… It is not, therefore, surprising that there was little love lost between the Maltese and their new rulers.
