The knights of Christ were people who took up the sword in the name of Christ according to the medieval chivalric ideal.There are several sovereigns among this group - possibly the leaders of the crusades. Some have been identified though never conclusively as Louis IX (St Louis) godfrey of Bouillon and Charlemagne.
