Louis I created Order of the Dragon to protect Europe from Ottoman Empire's invasion.

Croatia witnessed the establishment of The Order of the Dragon by Louis I, also known as Louis the Great. This chivalric order was created to defend the Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia against the Ottoman Empire, a formidable threat at the time. Members of the Order, including nobles and knights, were sworn to protect the interests of Christianity and fight against its enemies. The emblem of the Order featured a dragon, symbolizing power, strength, and vigilance in guarding the realm. This moment marked a significant effort to unite noble warriors in Croatia and Hungary to face the challenges posed by the expansion of the Ottoman Empire into Europe. #Croatia #LouisI #OrderOfTheDragon #Chivalry #History #OttomanEmpire
