EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print depicts a Knight of the Order of Montesa from the pre-union era with the Order of San Jorge de Alfama, dressed in full war attire. Established by King Jaime II of Aragon in 1317, the Order of Montesa was created to replace the suppressed Order of the Temple. The Iberian peninsula during this period was marked by the dominance of Catholicism, with Christianity playing a central role in the lives of the people. The Knight in the print wears a black cloak draped over his shoulders, adorned with the distinctive white cross of the Order. He dons a white helmet, a coat of arms on the front, and a red cape edged with ermine fur. The knight's badge, featuring the image of Saint George slaying the dragon, is prominently displayed on his chest. The Order of Montesa was a military and religious institution, with its members sworn to protect the Catholic faith and the crown. The knights were known for their bravery and dedication to their duties, making them revered figures in medieval society. This print serves as a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Order of Montesa, a significant part of the Iberian peninsula's past. The intricate details of the knight's armor and the vibrant colors used in the print showcase the skill and artistry of the chromolithography process. This print is taken from the "History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations," published in Madrid in 1865, offering a glimpse into the past and the proud legacy of the Order of Montesa.
