Founded in 1113, the Knights Hospitalers soon became known as the Knights of Jerusalem for their success in protecting Christians on pilgrimage to the holy lands. The Jerusalem shield was recognized across Europe and the near East as a sign of courage, integrity and strength. As the centuries passed, the Knights of Jerusalem rose to become one of the most powerful military branches of the church.
For a knight, shield and sword were a way of life. The Jerusalem shield was used by the Knights of Jerusalem from 1113 to the 1700's to protect Christendom's finest fighters. Display this stunning symbol of power and honor with pride.
