Author Topic:   Women Maria Moderator posted 09-24-2005 02:06 PM             "While Orders of female knights were rare, they did exist." This is a quote from http://www.medieval-life.net/knight_training.htm. And this is my reaction: What?! Where?! How come?! Merlin Senior Member posted 09-25-2005 09:04 AM             This is also a big «?» for me. I never heard of any female knights (and Jeanne d'Arc wasn't of noble blood). Maria Moderator posted 09-25-2005 11:07 AM             Take a look at this... http://www.heraldica.org/topics/orders/wom-kn.htm It seems it was more of an onorary title than a "fighting" one. Merlin Senior Member posted 09-26-2005 03:21 AM             Hmm, very interesting. Thank you very much for that informative link!
