It is the order of the Hatchet (<B>orden de la Hacha</B>) in Catalonia.
It was founded in 1149 by Raymond Berenger, count of Barcelona, to honor
the women who fought for the defense of the town of Tortosa against a Moor
attack. The dames admitted to the order received many privileges, including
exemption from all taxes, and took precedence over men in public assemblies.
I presume the order died out with the original members. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/637321F6-ABBA-422E-B828-53AB9A649448/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
