Noble Order of Saint George of Rougemont

The Noble Order of Saint George of Rougemont was a baronial order of chivalry established around 1440 in the Free County of Burgundy. From the 15th through the late 18th centuries it enjoyed the protection of the Dukes of Burgundy and later the French kings. It was abolished in the wake of the French Revolution and became extinct after the death of the last knight in 1869. The order has been revived at least twice in the 20th and 21st centuries. A confraternity under the name now exists with members in France, Germany, Japan and other countries.
