Chivalric Orders Founded in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries

Orders of knighthood founded in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, among them the branches of the Teutonic Order on the Baltic frontier and the royal orders of chivalry created by the kings of England. An organization belongs here when its cited article gives a founding or establishment date inside this span. It excludes organizations founded earlier or later, which sit in the neighboring groups of the same kind, and it does not turn on how large or long-lived an organization became.
