Pentecost Benedictio Militis, Arraiolos 2018 – The Ceremony May 27, 2018
A substantial part of the ceremony of adoubement is conducted privately, only accessible to members of the Order. The act of adoubement itself, however, is public.

Their code of conduct was designed to keep the warrior-knights humble, chaste and—most of all—obedient. How often do we get a nitty-gritty view into the daily life of a medieval knight—one based on fact and not misty mythology?
