"In
1408... the Dragon Court was formally
reconstituted as a sovereign body at a time of wars and
general political turmoil. The Court's reemergence was
instigated by Sigismund von Luxembourg, king of Hungary,
a descendant of the Lusignan Dragon Kings of Jerusalem.
.
Having
inherited the legacy in 1397 he drew up a pact with
twenty-three nobles who swore to observe 'true and pure
fraternity' within the Societas Draconis (later called
Ordo Draconis) — Hungarian: Sarkany Rend.
.
The
founding document... stated that members of the Court
might wear the insignia of a dragon incurved into a
circle, with a red cross — the very emblem of the
original Rosicrucis which had identified the Grail
succession from before 3000 B.C."
