ABSTRACT
Founded in 1921, the two decade career of the Most Noble Order of Crusaders demonstrates the continuation of crusader medievalism into the interwar years. A pseudo-secret society founded as a medievalesque Order of Chivalry for the purpose of tackling the social problems of postwar Britain, the Order’s deployment of a distinctly nineteenth-century form of crusader medievalism, national span and 1923 ceremony in Westminster Abbey render them a testimony to the survival, and ultimate failure, of crusader medievalism to inspire the British in the interwar years.
