The original Knights Templar, Order of the Temple of Solomon is a Principality of sovereign diplomatic status, practicing Chivalry as a modern way of life.
The Battle of Grunwald, First Battle of Tannenberg or Battle of Žalgiris, was fought on 15 July 1410 during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War...
The Maltese Order was founded in 1048. It was the First Knight Order created to take on the military defense of the pilgrims, sick and the captured territories and we will describe why in this blog article on the Hospitaller Order and its origins.
The KnightsTemplar Order found common bonds of unity with the Saracen Knights of Saladin, rooted in shared ancient principles of Chivalry and spiritual Faith.

Easily the most boisterous of all the Knightly Orders of the Empire, the Order of the Black Bear, also known as the Bears of Averland, maintain a fortress on the borders of Averland as well as a Chapterhouse in Averheim itself. Close as they are to the haunted land of Sylvania and the Orc-infested Worlds Edge Mountains, the Bears of Averland do not lack for opportunities to prove their martial valour. Even so, the Knights have often found themselves without a foe and have thus fashioned a series of martial tournaments to provide an outlet for their energies (they had previously engaged in the practice of Halfling coursing - outlawed in 2402). These tourneys test all facets of what the Black Bear perceive to be Knightly skills and include such feats as swordplay, horsemanship, and of course, quaffing. Where the name of the Order originates is a source of much debate. The official story, as put forward by the Bears themselves, speaks of a noble, yet impoverished Knight having to wrestle a great bear to save a lady of noble birth who had become lost in the wilderness. Recognising the nobility of his deed and being possessed of great wealth, she presented her saviour with a gift of money, which he used to found a chapterhouse in Averheim. In memory of this event, each of the Order's tournaments opens with the Grand Master wrestling a bear - a practice that has lead to the demise of great many lords. Other, violently suppressed rumours indicate that there was no such incident and that the Order takes its name from a tavern of the same name in Averheim. The enthusiastic and brazen nature of the Order means they pay no heed to the numbers that they face. But, this can also work against them on occasion, as they often tend to argue among each other instead of fighting the foe. Source: Wikipedia

After the elevation of the hospital community on February 19, 1199 to the status of a spiritual order of knights, the members became involved during the 13th century in the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy Land, the Mediterranean region and in Transylvania and participated in the German colonization of the East. One of the most distinctive features of the castles of the Teutonic Order was their brick construction. In Germany, one also speaks of brick giothism, which received considerable impetus from the buildings of the order. The Marienburg on the Nogat river in West Prussia, which was begun in the 13th century, can probably be considered the largest castle built on mainland Europe.
