The Hospitallers of St. John of Caid were created to closely recreate the original order in as much detail as possible for re-creation within the SCA.   This would include not only proper Livery (Uniforms) but also that of service, reverence, and duty.   The Hospitallers of Caid did not come into being over night. Much work and preparation was involved.   From the building of shield, sewing of surcoats to the development of command and control and tactics. Some of our original members needed to be trained and authorized as SCA fighters.   Some armor had to be made.   It was through the dedication and teamwork of every member that we took to the field on October 8th 2005 for our first War as the Hospitallers of Saint John of Caid.
