Order of the Hatchet : ウィキペディア英語版 | Order of the Hatchet The Order of the Hatchet (Sp. ''Orden del Hacha'') is a military order of knighthood founded in 1149, bestowed upon the women of the town of Tortosa, in Catalonia, near Barcelona, Spain in recognition of their defense of the town against a Moorish siege. ==Origin==
The city of Tortosa, in northeastern Spain, was held by Islamic Moors until the Second Crusade. In 1148, Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona led his forces to wrest control of the city. The crusading armies then moved on to attack other places. This left the city open to counter-attack in 1149. Moorish armies found the city well-defended, though, for the ladies of the town donned men's clothing and fought with whatever weapon was closest to hand, including hatchets. Berenguer was so impressed with the spirited defense that he created the Order of the Hatchet and bestowed it upon the women soldiers, thus making them knights.
