When the Turkish invasion force arrived on Rhodes on 26 June 1522, the defenders may have numbered about 500 knights and another 3-5,000 soldiers and armed locals.

Eric Brockman author of the "The two sieges of rhodes 1480 and 1522" puts this figure at 2,000 to 2,500 men fighting for the Knights of St. John.
