argent_paladin Posted November 28, 2005 Author Posted November 28, 2005 no, but good guess. It's not a specific person or saint.

Ash Wednesday Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 It's the Cable Guy duking it out at the Medieval Times! Okay, maybe not.
argent_paladin Posted November 28, 2005 Author Posted November 28, 2005 Remember, apologetics means "defense of the faith." Crusader is close, but not quite right. These knights were special and shined in a particularly important battle that perhaps saved Western Civilization from falling to the Turks.... Anyone?
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Knights Hospitallers? Knights of Rhodes? Knights of St. John? Knights of Malta? Technically, those are all the same knights... just different names... How about the Teutonic Knights?
argent_paladin Posted November 28, 2005 Author Posted November 28, 2005 The answer is coming soon.... Think Polish.

Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 [quote]My avatar is a Polish Hussar, like the ones that turned back the Muslim Turks outside of Vienna in 1683. Without the Hussars, Vienna would have fallen to the Turks, and likely much of Italy and Germany. Instead, Vienna marked the furthest point of Islamic invasion into Europe and they were slowly beaten back. Here's more than you ever wanted to know about the Hussars: [/quote]
