Ancient Order of St. George : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ancient Order of St. George
The Ancient Order of St. George (German: ''Alter Orden vom St. Georg''), also known as the Order of the Four Roman Emperors (German: ''Orden der Vier Römischen Kaiser'') or Order of the Ancient Nobility (German: ''Orden des Alten Adels''), is a historic secular order of chivalry. == Early history == The history of the Ancient Order of St. George dates back to the two knightly associations of the House of Luxembourg in the 14th and 15th century, when in 1308 King of Germany (and later Holy Roman Emperor) Henry VII endowed the “Order of the Ancient Nobility” and in 1408 the King of Hungary (and later Holy Roman Emperor) Sigismund instituted the “Order of the Dragon”. Both founders were striving to fortify Christendom and knightly virtues. As a result of his defeat by the Ottomans at the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396, Sigismund placed the so called “Confraternity With the Dragon” (ref. Ouroboros) of Ancient Nobility under the protection of Saint George, from which the Order still today derives its name of two components. Following the extinction of the House of Luxembourg in the middle of the 15th century, the Order remained affiliated to the Holy Roman Emperors of the House of Habsburg. Since the 19th century the Order has upheld a firm loyalty to the archducal House of Austria. Accordingly, Dr. Otto von Habsburg-Lothringen was patron of the Ancient Order of St. George from 1972 until his death in July 2011.〔Lists of Members of the Ancient Order of St. George since 1972.〕
