EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Military Orders of Spain: A Historical Representation" This print showcases the seven most prominent military orders of Spain, arranged from left to right. The orders depicted are: Orden de la Encina (Order of the Oak), Order of Santiago, Order of the Crusade, Knights Templar, Order of San Salvador, Order of Alcántara, and Order of Calatrava. The illustration is taken from "Historia orgánica de las armas de la Infantería y la Caballería" (History of Weapons of the Infantry and Cavalry), a comprehensive work authored by Lieutenant General Conde de Clonard between 1851 and 1859. The engraving is a testament to the rich military history of Spain, specifically from the regions of Aragon and Zaragoza, where the General Military Academy (Academia General Militar) is located. The Military Orders of Spain played a significant role in the country's history, not only as protectors of the faith but also as influential institutions that shaped Spanish society. The Orden de la Encina, for instance, was founded in the 15th century to protect pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela. The Knights Templar, an ancient military-religious order, was suppressed in 1312 but continued to exist in Spain under the name of the Order of Montesa. The Order of Alcántara, founded in 1156, was dedicated to the protection of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the symbols, beliefs, and traditions of these esteemed military orders. The intricate detail and meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving serve as a reminder of the enduring significance of these historical institutions in Spanish history.
