Description
The design of this pewter badge, featuring a coiled dragon, is taken from an embroidered badge given to new members of the Order of the Dragon. The Order was founded in the late 14th century by King Sigismund of Hungary, tasked with defending Christians against Turks. The badges were passed on by the chivalric members of the Order to anyone they deemed worthy.
Famously, the Order included Prince Vlad Dracul – also known as Dracula – so make your own mind up about just how chivalrous they were!
