Order of the Lion (France)
- Order of the Lion (France)
-
The Order of the Lion was an order of knighthood set up by Enguerrand I of Coucy (or, according to other sources, his son Enguerrand II), to keep alive the memory of his killing a dangerous lion. It was short-lived and was forgotten after its founder's death. His successor Enguerrand VII founded the Order of the Crown in 1378 - Gustav Ackermann mentions the two orders as among the historical orders of France.
