Knight of the Order of Calatrava.

The Order of Calatrava was founded in Castile in the 12th century as a military branch of the Cistercian family. It was named for the Arabic name of a castle retaken from the Moslems in 1147.. . In the Cistercian Order, then only recently formed (1098), there had been a large number of knights or sons of knights. In Calatrava, on the contrary, those who had been monks became knights.. .
