One of these was originated by king Richard II of England in 1380; another by king Charles VI of France in 1400, composed of soldiers against the Saracens. They were finally merged into orders of knighthood. A female order of the Passion was founded in- 1538 by Maria Laurentia Lonrga at Naples, and was composed of nuns.
