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. Each member is placed by the founding date stated in the article cited for it, so the grouping rests on a quoted source.Browse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Browse ByAll Chivalric Orders Founded in the Twelfth CenturyChivalric Orders Founded in the Twelfth Century6 entriesChivalric Orders Founded in the Twelfth CenturyFilter Results6 entriesOrganization TypeAllCatholic military religious order (1)Military religious order (chivalric crusading order) (3)Active PeriodAll1119 to 1312 (1)1190 to 1809 (1)HeadquartersAllAlcantara, Extremadura, Spain (1)Calatrava la Nueva, Castile, Spain (1)Uclés, Cuenca Province, Castile, Spain (1)EraAllThe Post-Classical and Medieval Period (6)Group TreeAllChivalric Orders Founded in the Twelfth Century (6)State or Polity AffiliationAllGrand Duchy of Lithuania (1)Kingdom of Jerusalem (3)Kingdom of Leon (1)Kingdom of Poland (1)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Malta (1)Portugal (1)Spain (3)The Ottoman Empire (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 6Knights HospitallerChivalric and Religious Orders9 linksKnights TemplarChivalric and Religious Orders11 linksOrder of AlcantaraChivalric and Religious Orders6 linksOrder of CalatravaChivalric and Religious Orders6 linksOrder of SantiagoChivalric and Religious Orders7 linksTeutonic OrderChivalric and Religious Orders10 linksSourcesNew World Encyclopedia: Knights TemplarNew World EncyclopediaHas Member: Knights Templar, Article textQuote, Has Member: Knights Templar, Article textThe order was founded around 1118, by French knights Hughes de PayensView the SourceWikipedia: Order of Santiagotier 2WikipediaHas Member: Order of Santiago, Article textQuote, Has Member: Order of Santiago, Article textfounded in the 12th centuryView the SourceOrder of Calatrava (Wikipedia)Has Member: Order of Calatrava, Origins and foundationQuote, Has Member: Order of Calatrava, Origins and foundationIt was founded at Calatrava la Vieja in Castile, in the twelfth centuryView the SourceWikipedia: Order of Alcantaratier 2WikipediaHas Member: Order of Alcantara, LeadQuote, Has Member: Order of Alcantara, LeadIt was originally a military order of León, founded in 1166 and confirmed by Pope Alexander III in 1177.View the SourceWikipedia: Knights Hospitallertier 2WikipediaHas Member: Knights Hospitaller, Article textQuote, Has Member: Knights Hospitaller, Article textAfter the Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the Hospitallers rose in prominence and were recognized as a distinct order by Pope Paschal II in 1113.View the SourceWikipedia: Teutonic Ordertier 2WikipediaHas Member: Teutonic Order, Article textQuote, Has Member: Teutonic Order, Article textThe fraternity which preceded the formation of the Order was founded around 1190 in Acre by German merchants from Bremen and Lübeck during the siege of Acre, as part of the Third Crusade to the Holy Land.View the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
