Chivalric Orders are organizations that originated in the medieval period, primarily in Europe, to promote ideals of knighthood, such as bravery, honor, and service. Members, often called knights, were typically granted titles and privileges in exchange for their loyalty and military service. These orders often had specific rules and rituals, emphasizing moral conduct and charitable works.
Many chivalric orders were associated with religious institutions, such as the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller, which combined military and spiritual missions. Over time, these orders evolved, and some still exist today, continuing to uphold their historical traditions and values.
