Order of Reason

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Order of Reason , L 'Ordre de la Raison , was a Spanish knightly order .

Founder was the King of Castile Juan I. The year of foundation was 1379. The order can be regarded as a military merit for achievements in the war trade.

The honorees received a lance with a flag and through this gesture became banners with full rights.

There are also authors who doubt the existence of the order.

The English Order of the Dove is also called the Order of Reason.
