1. order of chivalry; chivalric order
Wikipedia definition
2. Chivalric orderChivalric orders are societies and fellowships of knights that have been created by European monarchs in imitation of the military orders of the Crusades. After the crusades, the memory of these crusading military orders became idealised and romanticised, resulting in the late medieval notion of chivalry, and is reflected in the Arthurian romances of the time. Modern historiography tends to take the fall of Acre in 1291 as the final end of the age of the crusades.
