Military order
A military order is a Christian order of knighthood that is founded for crusading, i.e. propagating and/or defending the faith (originally only Catholic, after the reformation sometimes Protestant), either in the Holy Land or against Islam (Reconquista) or pagans (mainly Baltic region) in Europe, but may become 'secularised' later.
