The Loyal Order of St Jude of Melih
This order was set up in 1624 A.D. to:
"Serve God, defend the church and protect the sacredness of the calling"
It was originally the "Holy Order of Jude of Melih" where the whole purpose was to look after the church, especially the leaders of the church in any way necessary. It was realized soon after that this would involve alot of physical and military means where after the first blood was split by a member of this order, the 'Holy' part of its title was removed. It has evolved over the past 400 years plus into a very effective close protection unit which was awarded the title 'Loyal Order' in 1894 for its good work and service for the church and the country.
