Help!  I would like info and I hope someone out there in the wide world
of nets can help me.

In the past, my lord and I have done some research on Knightly Orders,
specifically in the region that came to be known as Spain.  (Since my
lord is a knight from the 1250's in that region, it was our major
focus.) We found a reference to the Order of the Banda, which seems to
have been a secular Order of Knighthood which fit the bill.  The focus
of this Order was tournaments.  Other than this slim bit of information,
we could find nothing else.  Has anyone else out there in their
historical researches found reference to this Order, or have information
which might help us learn more?

I would appreciate it.  Thanks.
