Knights of St. John psiloi (archers and light infantry)

Irregulars are key part of the Knights army representing the common Maltese and other non-noble support for the Order.
These archers are probably mercenaries from Europe. They look like English longbow men which is unlikely by the time of the Great Siege as only one English knight still in the Order.

These fellows are Maltese soldiers many of whom fought and died defending their island along side the Knights.
