Excerpt: The Order of the Dragon (lat. Societas Draconistrarum, hun. Sárkány Lovagrend, ger. der Drachenorden, cro. Zmajev red, rom. Ordinul Dragonului, ser. / Red Zmaja) was a monarchical chivalric order for selected nobility, created in Hungary in the late Middle Ages. Founded in 1408 by Sigismund, King of Hungary (r. 1397-1437) and later Holy Roman Emperor (r. 1433-1437), the Order primarily flourished in Germany and Italy. According to a surviving copy of its statute, the Order required its initiates to defend the Cross and fight the enemies of Christianity, in particular the Ottoman Turks. Ceremonial sword of the Order, c. 1433, displayed at the Neue Burg, Vienna. The historical and social background for the foundation of the Order is a story of international and domestic developments. The primary reason the Order was established is the fear of expansion of the Ottoman empire. In 1389, the Ottoman Sultan Murad I defeated Lazar, Prince of Serbia at the Battle of Kosovo Polje, in which both leaders died. Two years later, the Turks took the fortress of Nicopolis. Afterward the Crusade of Nicopolis was organised to recapture the fortress and put a halt to the Ottoman expansion. Sigismund was nominally in charge of the crusade. However, in the 1396 battle the French leader, John of Nevers, commanded the French half of the forces and ignored Sigismund's entreaties by charging the Turks. About 15,000 crusaders died with only a few leaders, including Sigismund, escaping. John of Nevers was later ransomed. The battle proved the inability of a medieval knightly state and army to counter the Ottoman Turks. The Hungarians were briefly spared by Ottoman problems in the East, but understood that they had to reorganise their state and military to survive. Addit.
