EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print depicts a knight of the Order of Calatrava in battle dress, as illustrated in the "History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations," published in Madrid in 1865. Founded in the Kingdom of Castile in 1158, the Order of Calatrava is a military and religious organization with a rich history that spans over eight centuries. The knights of the order were renowned for their bravery and commitment to the Catholic faith during the Middle Ages. The knight in the print wears the distinctive insignia of the Order, the Cross of Calatrava, which features the image of the castle of Calatrava la Vieja on its face. The knight's battle dress consists of a coat of plate armor, a cape, a helmet, and a shield bearing the Order's emblem. The knight's attire reflects the military and religious nature of the Order, which was dedicated to protecting the Christian faith and the kingdom of Castile during times of war. The Order of Calatrava was founded during the reign of King Sancho III of Castile and played a significant role in the Christian Reconquista, the long-lasting process of reclaiming the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The Order's members were expected to uphold the values of chivalry, courage, and piety, making them respected figures in medieval Europe. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and symbolism of the Order of Calatrava and the medieval world it inhabited.
