The Order of the Golden Fleece

Orde van het Gulden Vlies ; Ordre de la Toison d'Or ; Orden vom Goldenen Vlies ; Ordine del Toson d'Oro ; Orden del Toisn de Oro )

is an order of chivalry founded in bruges by Duke Philipe III of Burgundy in 1430, to celebrate his marriage to the portuguese princess Isabella of Aviz. It is one of the most prestigious orders in Europe. Today there exist two branches of the Order: the Spanish Fleece and the Austrian Fleece. The Sovereigns of the Spanish and Austrian branches.

es una orden de caballera fundada en Brujas por el duque Philipe III de Borgoa en 1430 , para celebrar su matrimonio con la princesa Isabel de Aviz portugus . Es uno de los encargos ms prestigiosos de Europa . Hoy en da existen dos ramas de la Orden : el vellocino de espaol y el austriaco Fleece . Los soberanos de las ramas espaola y austriaca .
The Order of the Golden Fleece was established January 10, 1430, by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in celebration of the prosperous and wealthy domains united in his person that ran from Flanders to Switzerland. It is restricted to a limited number of knights, initially 24 but increased to 30 in 1433, and 50 in 1516, plus the sovereign. It received further privileges unusual to any order of knighthood: the sovereign undertook to consult the order before going to war; all disputes between the knights were to be settled by the order; at each chapter the deeds of each knight were held in review, and punishments and admonitions were dealt out to offenders, and to this the sovereign was expressly subject; the knights could claim as of right to be tried by their fellows on charges of rebellion, heresy and treason, and Charles V conferred on the order exclusive jurisdiction over all crimes committed by the knights; the arrest of the offender had to be by warrant signed by at least six knights, and during the process of charge and trial he remained not in prison but in the gentle custody of his fellow knights. The order, conceived in an ecclesiastical spirit in which mass and obsequies were prominent and the knights were seated in choirstalls like canons, was explicitly denied to "heretics", and so became an exclusively Catholic award during the Reformation.

The Order of the Golden Fleece was defended from possible accusations of prideful pomp by Guillaume Machaut, who asserted that it was instituted:
Non point pour jeu ne pour esbatement,

Mais la fin que soit attribue
Loenge Dieu trestout premirement
Et aux bons gloire et haulte renomme.


Translated into English:
Not for amusement nor for recreation,

But for the purpose that praise shall be given to God,
In the very first place,
And to the good, glory and high renown.


The choice of the Golden Fleece of Colchis as the symbol of a Christian order caused some controversy, not so much because of its pagan context, which could be incorporated in chivalric ideals, as in the Nine Worthies, but because the feats of Jason, familiar to all, were not without causes of reproach, expressed in anti-Burgundian terms by Alain Chartier in his Ballade de Fougres instancing Jason "qui pour emportrer la toison De Colcos se veult parjurer". The bishop of Chlons, chancellor of the Order, rescued the fleece's reputation by identifying it instead with the fleece of Gideon that received the dew of Heaven.

The badge of the Order, in the form of a sheepskin, was suspended from a jewelled collar of firesteels in the shape of the letter B, for Burgundy, linked by flints; with the motto "Pretium Laborum Non Vile" ("Not a bad reward for labour") engraved on the front of the central link, and Philip's motto "Non Aliud" ("I will have no other") on the back (non-royal knights of the Golden Fleece were forbidden to belong to any other order of knighthood).
La Orden del Toisn de Oro fue establecida 10 de enero 1430, por Felipe el Bueno, duque de Borgoa, en la celebracin de los dominios prspera y rica en su persona que se extenda desde Flandes a Suiza. Se limita a un nmero limitado de caballeros, en un principio 24, pero aument a 30 en 1433, y 50 en 1516, adems de los soberanos recibi privilegios inusuales an ms a cualquier orden de caballera:. La soberana se comprometi a consultar la orden antes de ir a la guerra, todas las controversias entre los caballeros deban ser resueltas por el orden, en cada captulo las obras de cada caballero se llevaron a cabo en la revisin, y los castigos y amonestaciones fueron repartidas a los delincuentes, y para ello el soberano se someten expresamente, la caballeros podan reclamar como un derecho a ser juzgada por sus compaeros, acusados de rebelin, hereja y traicin a la patria, y Carlos V, atribuidas a la jurisdiccin exclusiva sobre todos para los delitos cometidos por los caballeros, la detencin del delincuente tuvo que ser por orden judicial firmada por por lo menos seis caballeros, y durante el proceso de carga y el juicio no se mantuvo en prisin, pero bajo la custodia de su suave compaeros caballeros. El orden, concebido en un espritu eclesistico en el que la masa y exequias fueron destacadas y los caballeros estaban sentados en sillera en el coro como los cnones, se neg explcitamente a los "herejes", y as se convirti en un premio exclusivamente catlica durante la Reforma.

La Orden del Toisn de Oro se defendi de las acusaciones de la pompa posible orgulloso de Guillaume de Machaut, quien afirm que su institucin:
"Punto de no verter jeu pour ne esbatement,

Mais la fin Que soit attribue
Loenge Dieu trestout premirement
Et Aux Bons gloire et haulte Renomme.
"

Traducida al Ingls:
"No es para divertirse, ni para la recreacin,

Sin embargo, con el propsito de que la alabanza se da a Dios,
En el primer lugar,
Y para la gloria bueno, y alto renombre.
"

La eleccin del Toisn de Oro de Clquida como el smbolo de un orden cristiano caus una cierta controversia, no tanto por su contexto pagano, que podra ser incorporado en ideales de la caballera, como en el Nueve de la Fama, pero debido a las hazaas de Jason, familiar a todos, no sin causa de reproche, expresado en trminos anti-borgon de Alain Chartier en su Ballade de Fougres instancias Jason "qui pour emportrer la Toison De Colcos s veult parjurer". El obispo de Chlons, rector de la orden, rescat la reputacin de la lana mediante la identificacin en su lugar con el velln de Geden que recibi el roco del cielo .

La insignia de la Orden, en la forma de una piel de oveja, fue suspendido de un collar de piedras preciosas de firesteels en la forma de la letra B, de Borgoa, unidos por piedras, con el lema "Pretium Laborum no vil" ("No es un mal engraved on the front of the central link, and Philip's motto "Non Aliud" ("I will have no other") on the back (non-royal knights of the Golden Fleece were forbidden to belong to any other order"> recompensa por el trabajo ") grabado en la parte delantera del enlace central, y el lema de Felipe" no Aliud "(" voy a tener ningn otro ") en la parte posterior (no reales caballeros del Toisn de Oro se les prohibi formar parte de cualquier otro orden de caballera).

El fundador se declar jefe y soberano de esta Orden, estableciendo que deban serlo perpetuamente los Reyes de Espaa, sus sucesores. El Real Decreto de creacin y las primeras Constituciones estn fechados el dia del nacimiento del Infante, aunque no se publicaron hasta el 24 de octubre, dia en que la Princesa sali a primera misa despus de parida.

After five years of marriage, the Prince of Asturias had not had sons, at last, on September 19, 1771 was born in El Escorial the first Infante, who was baptized the same day with the name of Carlos Clemente Anthony of Padua Genaro Jos Pascual Francisco de Asis, Francisco de Paula, Luis, Vicente Ferrer, Rafael; sponsored him his grandfather the King and Pope Clement XIV (1). King now wished to leave to posterity a permanent public testimony of his deep gratitude and reverence to the Almighty for the good he dispensed imponderable Heaven, create a new order of knighthood (2), which was titled Carlos III , adjective to distinguish and Spanish, and placed under the patronage of the Virgin Mary in his mystery of the Immaculate Conception, who was very devoted at a very tender age. The chief said founder and ruler of this Order, stating that must be perpetually and Queen of Spain, his successors. The Royal Decree of creation and the first constitutions are dated the day of birth of the infant, though not published until October 24, the day when the Princess came out first mass after calving.

La Orden servira para premiar y distinguir a sujetos benemritos y adeptos a su Persona. En principio, los caballeros eran de dos clases: grandes cruces (limitadas a 60, de ellos cuatro prelados), y pensionados (limitadas a 200, de ellas veinte eclesisticos). En 1783 cre el Rey la clase de caballeros supernumerarios. La nueva Orden estaba reservada a nobles: cada caballero deba presentar un expediente de pruebas de su buena vida y arregladas costumbres, limpieza de sangre hasta sus bisabuelos, y nobleza de sangre -no era admisible la de privilegio- al menos en su lnea paterna, segn las leyes y fueros de Espaa. Al ser recibido, todo caballero juraba vivir y morir en la Fe Catlica; no emplearse jams, directa ni indirectamente, contra la persona del Rey, su Casa y sus dominios; de servir fielmente al Rey si eran sus vasallos; de reconocerle por nico Jefe y Soberano de la Orden; y de cumplir con las Constituciones y Estatutos, en que se comprende la defensa del Misterio de la Inmaculada Concepcin. Como deberes espirituales, todos los caballeros estaban obligados a comulgar una vez al ao, en la vspera o da de la Inmaculada; y a rezar las oraciones cada dia.

The Order would serve to reward and honor the meritorious subjects and followers of his person. In principle, the knights were of two kinds: large crosses (limited to 60, including four bishops) and pensioners (limited to 200, of which twenty church). In 1783 the King created the kind of supernumerary knights. The new order was reserved for nobles, each knight must submit a dossier of evidence of their good life and fixed habits, cleaning blood up to their great-grandparents, and nobility of blood, was not admissible privilege-at least in the male line according to the laws and liberties of Spain. Upon receipt, every knight swore to live and die in the Catholic Faith, not ever used, directly or indirectly against the person of the King, the House and its grounds, to serve faithfully to the King if they were his vassals, to recognize by only Chief and Sovereign of the Order and to comply with the Constitutions and Statutes, which includes the defense of the mystery of the Immaculate Conception. As spiritual duties, all the knights were obliged to receive him once a year, on the eve or day of the Immaculate, and say the prayers every day.
La Orden tena su sede en la iglesia de San Gil de Madrid, donde se celebraban dos Captulos anuales, los das de la Inmaculada, y de Difuntos, en que se ofreca una solemne misa por las nimas del Purgatorio y por el eterno descanso de los caballeros fallecidos. Tambin se investa all a los caballeros pensionados, a menos que asistiese el Rey al Captulo, pues en tal caso esta funcin se verificaba en la Real Capilla, donde tambin se realizaban las investiduras de grandes cruces y ministros. El ceremonial capitular y de investidura fue determinado con todo detalle.

El Papa Clemente XIV, mediante bula despachada el 21 de febrero de 1772, prob y confirm perpetuamente la nueva Orden. Y, adems, concedi notables privilegios y gracias espirituales a caballeros y ministros: que el gran canciller o confesor electo por los caballeros pueda absolverles de cualquier sentencia o censura eclesistica, por graves que fuesen sus delitos -excepto los reservados a la anta Sede-; le daba tambin facultad para conmutar los votos hechos por los caballeros, excepto los de castidad y religin; y le daba facultad para darles la indulgencia plenaria y la bendicin apostlica in articulo mortis. A los caballeros gran cruz y a los ministros les autoriz para tener oratorio privado en sus casas; que en l se dijeran hasta dos misas diarias; que en caso de enfermedad las misas fueran en pieza inmediata a su alcoba; y que en sus viajes pudiesen llevar consigo un altar porttil. Di indulgencia plenaria a todo caballero que confesase y comulgase el dia de su investidura o el dia de la Inmaculada, y adems otras indulgencias en fechas sealadas. Concedi tambin licencia para comer carne, huevos y lacticinios durante la Cuaresma, y que las esposas e hijas de grandes cruces y ministros seculares pudiesen entrar en monasterios y conventos de monjas donde tuviesen parientas de primer o segundo grado, sin pasar la noche en ellos, con licencia del Ordinario y consentimiento de la priora o abadesa. El mismo Pontfice, mediante breve, concedi a la Orden privilegio de nima en su altar de la Inmaculada sito en la Iglesia de San Gil, de frailes menores descalzos: de manera que, mediante los mritos de Nuestro Seor Jesucristo, de la Bienaventurada Virgen Mara y de todos los Santos, se librara de las penas del Purgatorio el alma de cualquiera de los caballeros de la Orden y de sus ministros que, unidos con Dios por la Caridad, hubiesen pasado de esta vida a la otra, siempre que en sufragio suyo se dijera all por un sacerdote la misa de difuntos. Su sucesor el Papa Po VI, por breve de 9 de diciembre de 1783, extendi a los caballeros supernumerarios las gracias espirituales concedidas por Clemente XIV a los dems.

Desde el principio, Don Carlos III anej a la Orden la antigua Junta para tratar de los asuntos relativos al Misterio de la Inmaculada Concepcin, compuesta de eminentes telogos.


Las primeras investiduras de caballeros gran cruz, y de ministros seculares, las realiz el Rey en Madrid en diciembre de 1771:fueron el cardenal de la Cerda, patriarca de las Indias -primer canciller de la Orden-; don Bernardo del Campo, secretario; el marqus de Ovieco, maestro de ceremonias; y el conde de Valparaso, tesorero (estos tres todos juraron en manos de Grimaldi, secretario de Estado). Luego fueron investidos por el Rey los Infantes, y otros treinta y nueve caballeros gran cruz: un capitn general, trece tenientes generales, tres mariscales de campo, el secretario de Guerra -durante este reinado fue evidente el predominio del elemento militar en la nueva Orden-, el cardenal arzobispo de Sevilla, y el de Valencia, y adems varios Grandes de Espaa y otros palatinos.

The Order was based in the church of St. Giles in Madrid, where two chapters were held annually, the days of the Immaculate and the Dead, where a solemn mass was offered for the souls in Purgatory and for the eternal repose of the knights dead. There are also vested gentlemen pensioners, unless attended by the King to the Chapter, since in that case this function is checked at the Royal Chapel, where he also performed the investiture of large crosses and ministers. The ceremonial investiture capitulate and was determined in detail.

Pope Clement XIV, dispatched the bull by February 21, 1772, perpetually tested and confirmed the new order. And also granted privileges and spiritual graces notable gentlemen and ministers, that the chancellor or elected by the knights confessor can absolve them of any ecclesiastical sentence or censure for their crimes were serious, except those reserved to Headquarters-anta; also gave power to switch the votes cast by the knights, except chastity and religion, and gave him authority to give a plenary indulgence and the apostolic blessing in articulo mortis. A large cross knights and ministers were allowed to have private chapel at home, he told that to two daily Masses, that in case of illness Masses were in next room to her bedroom, and that could carry on his travels with a portable altar. He gave a plenary indulgence to every gentleman that confession and communion on the day of his inauguration or the day of the Immaculate Conception, and also other indulgences in dates. Also granted license to eat meat, eggs and dairy products during Lent, and that wives and daughters of great crosses and secular ministers could enter monasteries and nunneries where they had relatives of first or second degree, without spending the night in them, regular licensed and consent of the prioress and abbess. The same Pontiff, by brief privilege granted to the Order bore on its altar of the Immaculate Conception Church located in San Gil, barefoot friars minor, so that, through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints, got rid of the pains of Purgatory the soul of any of the knights of the Order and its ministers, united with God by charity, had passed from this life to another, provided that his vote said there is a Mass for the dead priest. His successor, Pope Pius VI, by brief December 9, 1783, the Knights extended supernumerary spiritual graces granted by Clement XIV to others.

From the beginning, Don Carlos III annexed to the former Board Order to deal with matters relating to the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, composed of eminent theologians.


The first investiture of knights grand cross, and secular ministers, was made the King in Madrid in December 1771:
were the Cardinal de la Cerda , patriarch of the Indies, first chancellor of the Order- , Don Bernardo del Campo, secretary, the Marquis de Ovieco , master of ceremonies , and the Earl of Valparaiso , treasurer (these three all in the hands of sworn Grimaldi , Secretary of State). They were then invested by the King Infants , and thirty- nine knights grand cross : a captain general , thirteen lieutenant generals , three quarterbacks, the Secretary of War , during this reign was evident the predominance of the military element in the new order - , Cardinal Archbishop of Seville, and Valencia , and also several other grandees of Spain and palate.
