So basically I have been doing some very small time research on fraternal organizations that we borrowed stuff from and ran across a few things on Rene d'Anjou's Order of the Crescent (1448). My information is very limited on the actual organization, however from what I have found so far, an interesting thought began to form.

On the OotC's Coat of Arms is a Lion Rampant on the inescutcheon, now my understanding is that the Lion Rampant came from TKN's Coat of Arms....so basically I just find it a wee bit odd that Mason took several things from the Order of the Crescent, but one of their symbols was also used by TKN (and not by us in the beginning), which we later took anyway. Just an interesting thought, oh and as sort of an after thought on this......I just checked TKN's Coat of Arms again, and the Lion up there is at the top........so did Mason re-check his notes and have it placed in the center of ours because of Rene d'Anjou or is it just an odd coincidence?

Can anyone explain this to me better?...Jono.......Tom........Mike......Chris??? ?

Also, if anyone has any text on:

Gamma Eta Gamma
The Grange - Patrons of Husbandry
or,
Rene d'Anjou and the Order of the Crescent 1448

Please share some of that information with me if at all possible.
