Author Topic: Knights' orders Eric C Member Member # 1088 posted 07-15-2006 11:28 PM                I want to start researching the different orders that knights would have belonged to. I'm not even sure if my terminology is correct. But I was wondering what resourses are out there for finding out about the orders. As for time period, I am not being very picky over that yet. Any help would be appreciated. A new thought. Was it less of an "order" and more like fealty to a certain lord?

I have a good source now for starting my own research, but I am still looking for any information that any of you may have. Somebody? Anybody?

I've learned that when asking a question like this, time period is essential. If I forget, I am reminded . So, I'm sorry for being vague in my first post. After what I've discovered so far, I think I am going to enjoy this study!

Fantastic book, containing lots of info on Chivalric Orders.
