The 'Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint David' Papers.



The Making of a ''Knight of the Order of Saint David''.















* M.H.O.S.D Meeting Minutes of 17 May 2001, Meeting at the Columba Club, Caerdydd.






* M.H.O.S.D Meeting Minutes of 10 September 2001 at the Cayo Arms, Caerdydd.







Have not yet discovered Minutes for meeting of 1 November 2001 at Cayo Arms, or any other minutes. Have yet to complete my research into Toni's political archive, if anything found concerning M.H.O.S.D it will be added here in due course.

PS: After reading all this ''Christian Knights'' stuff, I fancy watching Ridley Scotts film again: KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, no I don't fancy a trip to the ''holy land'', nor Iraq. Will instead stay at home and read up on Archbishop Baldwins tour of Wales to find some Welsh Warriors to become ''Knights of the Cross'' and take off to fight for God. Don't think he had many take up the option of fighting in the hot sun and dieing in a burning desert. Best read, on 'Knights of the Cross' has got to be on the siege of Malta, that is unbelievable rough and tough medieval warfare, but for possibly something more passive as the ''Knights of Saint David'' described above is the much safer bet for a peaceful and comfortable life with just a little bit of a ''romantic edge'' about it. I don't think you have to roll up your trouser leg either, just wear a ''Cilt Cymraeg''. HHHhhhmmm!!! Just what is going on under all these ''Cilts Cymraeg'', that we don't see? Is there more to the M.H.O.S.D. than meets the eye? or is it all but patriotic philanthropy? or ''Ruretanian Romanticism?'' Ah well! it will all come out in the wash, maybe? Time will tell perhaps?

Question: Name me one famous 'Welsh Crusader?'

Fin!
