The Order of Calatrava was founded in Castile in the 12th century as a military branch of the Cistercian family. It was named for the Arabic name of a castle retaken from the Moslems in 1147.. In the Cistercian Order, then only recently formed (1098), there had been a large number of knights or sons of knights. In Calatrava, on the contrary, those who had been monks became knights. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the New Ages" (1800).
