Crusader Cross
The Crusader Cross is a symbol associated with the medieval military campaigns known as the Crusades, which took place from the 11th to the 13th centuries. This emblem often features a cross with four equal arms, sometimes adorned with additional elements like fleur-de-lis or other decorative motifs. It represents the Christian faith and the efforts of European knights to reclaim the Holy Land, particularly the city of Jerusalem.
The design of the Crusader Cross has been adopted by various orders, such as the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller. It serves as a reminder of the religious fervor and the complex history of the Crusades, which involved not only warfare but also cultural exchanges between Christian and Muslim societies.
