The Order of Saint George In Carinthia - Frederick III (1415-1493), Emperor of Germany, resurrected the Order of St. George of Carinthia and Austria, originally created by Rudolph, Count of Hapsburg who reigned as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1273-1291 and who founded the Order in Austria in 1273, with a new order in 1468 for the purpose of defending the religion against heretics, specifically, against the invading Turks. It had taken the form of a religious military order in Germany. The first thirteen Prince Grand Masters of the Order were all from the House of Habsburg ad were descended from the Emperor Rudolf I. The emblem to signify the Order is the classical St. George slaying the dragon, as depicted on the right.
