Specialist Notes
The order was established on March 15, 1562 by Cosimo I of Tuscany, who was its first grand master. It was dedicated to Saint Stephen I, pope and martyr, because on his anniversary (August 2) the Medici troops had won two important victories: that of Scannagallo (1554) and that of Montemurlo (1559)The emblem of the Order was the red cross on a white field.
