| | Dragon Rouge |
| | Many people familiar with, or members of, Dragon Rouge think the order owes much of its remarkable popularity (by the standards of magical orders), and some of its members, to the successful band Therion, whose leader is a leading member of Dragon Rouge and use its ideas in their songs. | | | Dragon Rouge is feministic and strongly believes in Lilith, which according to their belief is the first of Adam's wives. | | | Instead, they focus on the rebellious mind that seeks to become God by the annihilation of the individual. |

| | MCD -- Mythical Creatures Department |
| | Sigismund, who became the Holy Roman Emperor in 1410, founded a secret fraternal order of knights called the Order of the Dragon to uphold Catholicism and fight Turkey. | | | The boyars of Walachia started to call him Dracul, meaning "dragon." Vlad's second son would be known as Dracula, or "son of the dragon." Dracul also meant "devil." So some of Dracula's enemies called him "son of the devil." | | | The origin of Slavic vampire myths developed during 9th C as a result of conflict between pre-Christian paganism and Christianity. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. George |
| | The chapel dedicated to St. George in Windsor Caste was built to be the official sanctuary of the order, and a badge or jewel of St. George slaying the dragon was adopted as part of the insignia. | | | There seems, therefore, no ground for doubting the historical existence of St. George, even though he is not commemorated in the Syrian, or in the primitive Hieronymian Martyrologium, but no faith can be placed in the attempts that have been made to fill up any of the details of his history. | | | Hence it is certainly not true, as stated by Hartland, that in George's person "the Church has converted and baptized the pagan hero Perseus" (The Legend of Perseus, iii, 38). |

| | Landscape with Saint George and the Dragon by RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel |
| | Saint George and the Dragon symbolises the close relationship established between Rubens and the court of Charles I. The subject honours the patron saint of England and of the Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348. | | | The features of Saint George are traditionally stated to be those of Charles I, while the figure of the Empress Cleodelinde is, according to the same tradition, intended to be Queen Henrietta Maria. | | | The works of Pordenone, Titian, Polidoro da Caravaggio, Veronese and the Carracci family all inspired the artist in carrying out this political allegory which, in the context of the reign of Charles I, clearly has religious connotations with particular reference to Saint George. |
