You who long for the Knightly Order,
It is fitting you should lead a new life;
Devoutly keeping watch in prayer,
Fleeing from sin, pride and villainy;
The Church defending,
The Widows and Orphans succouring.
Be bold and protect the people,
Be loyal and valiant, taking nothing from others.
Thus should a Knight rule himself.

He should be humble of heart and always work,
And follow Deeds of Chivalry.;
Be loyal in war and travel greatly;
He should frequent tourneys and joust for his Lady Love;
He must keep honor with all,
So that he cannot be held to blame.
No cowardice should be found in his doings,
Above all, he should uphold the weak,
Thus should a Knight rule himself.
— Eustace Deschamps

Personal Biography

Khalil ibn Abd al_Rahman was born in 1193, the year of the death of the great Sultan Salah ad Din, founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. His father served in the Manluk cavalry of Salah ad Din until the Sultan’s death. His mother died when he was young, and his father thought it best to place him somewhere he would have an opportunity to excel if he was strong enough. At the age of eight, his father turned him over to Egyptian merchants, who sold him to the Sultan’s men at arms.

He was supported and educated, and taught the use of weapons and bows – often displaying his prowess before the Sultan himself. As he gained strength he was given real weapons, and when he matured he was inducted into the Halka, or king’s guard.

Khalil served under Sultan Al Kamil at the battle of Mansura on July 24 1221 during first Egyptian Crusade (also known as the 5th Crusade, 1218-1221), under the command of Turan Shah.

In the SCA, Khalil began in the then Principality of AEthelmearc. He eventually migrated to the Kingdom of Meridies where he has made his home.

Personal Biography

Sir Iastreb Desislavich was born in the city state of Novgorod in the 1222 year of Our Lord. His father, a member of the druzhina (personal bodyguard) of the prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, trained Iastreb in the way of the warrior and secured a place for him in young prince Alexander Yarsoslavich’s druzhina. Iastreb proved himself in battle against Swedish invaders at the Battle of Neva in 1240. This made him a trusted warrior in Alexander’s, now called Nevskii, druzhina. After the Battle of Lake Peipus, where Iastreb again distinguished himself against the German crusaders called Tuetonic Knights, he was granted the privilege of being one of the leaders of Nevskii’s druzhina. When Alexander fought his brother for the right to be Grand Prince of Kiev, Iastreb, again, proved himself a formidable warrior. After this conflict, Iastreb was declared Druzhinik (knight) and led a portion of Alexander’s druzhina. Iastreb now spends his time travelling Europe and Asia defending his lord and land.
