This article collects some of the medieval references to knightly orders found in The Knights of the Crown by Darcy Jonathan Dacre Boulton (Suffolk: The Boydell Press, 1987). Boulton investigates the history and statutes of chivalric orders founded by medieval monarchs; as part of his analysis, he discusses the ways these orders named themselves and were named by others. I have gathered many of Boulton's examples here. Though the spellings quoted in the "Medieval Order Name" column are not modern, they may have been normalized or abbreviations expanded. I have largely followed Boulton's translations, when provided, though in a few cases I have substituted a more literal reading.
