Sažetak
The end of the Middle ages and the transition to the Early Medieval Times is a period of widespread and transformation throughout Europe. The commercial revolution which began in Italy in the 11th century had, by the end of the 14th century, produced powerful banks that financed kings and princes in their efforts to consolidate their widespread and often heterogenous domains. Rulers such as the dukes of Burgundy, Maximillian of Habsburg or Louis XI were focused on the strengthening of royal power and authority at the expense of the nobility and the estates. One method used to strengthen the bond between the ruler and the nobility, and to define the boundaries of the reinvigorated monarchies was the establishment of secular chivalric orders. In contrast to their more famous spiritual counterparts their primary mission was not to combat the enemies of the faith, but to forge a bond between the Crown and the often disparate territories of their vassals, thereby symbolically creating and confirming the territorial reach of the sovereign and, in effect, marking the boundaries of his influence and rule. I argue that the chivalric orders were a method of strengthening and defining the composite kingdoms and empires of the late middle ages, but were, paradoxically, at the same time incapable of relinquishing the traditional spirit of chivalric internationalism that defined the Middle Ages in general.
