Emprise de l'Escu vert à la Dame Blanche
The ''Emprise de l'Escu vert à la Dame Blanche''〔The spelling ''Écu'' is also seen, as in Riquer.〕 ("Enterprise of the Green Shield with the White Lady") was a chivalric order founded by Jean Le Maingre and twelve other knights in 1399, committing themselves for the duration of five years. Inspired by the ideal of courtly love, the stated purpose of the order was to guard and defend the honor, estate, goods, reputation, fame and praise of all ladies, including widows. It was an undertaking that earned the praise of Christine de Pizan.
==Foundation==
According to his ''Livre des faits'', in 1399 Jean Le Maingre, tired of receiving complaints from ladies, maidens, and widows oppressed by powerful men bent on depriving them of the lands and honours, and finding no knight of squire willing to defend their just cause, out of compassion and charity founded an order of thirteen knights sworn to carry ''une targe d'or esmaillé de verd & tout une dame blanche dedans'' ("a shield of gold enamelled with green and a white lady inside"). The thirteen knights, after swearing this oath, affirmed a long letter explaining their purpose and disseminated it widely in France and beyond her borders.
The letter explained that any lady young or old ''de noble lignée'' ("of noble lineage") finding herself the victim of injustice could petition one or more or the knights ''de l'Écu Vert à la Dame Blanche'' for redress and that knight would respond promptly and leave whatever other task he was performing to fight the lady's oppressor personally. The thirteen knights promised not just this, however. They offered also to release any other knight from a vow requiring him to fight a duel before a judge. The letter was signed 11 April 1399 by Jean le Maingre, Charles d'Albret, Geffroi le Maingre, François d'Aubrecicourt, Jean de Lignères, Chambrillac, Castelbayac, Gaucourt, Chasteaumorant, Betas, Bonnebaut, Colleville, and Torsay.
