It was founded by [[Auguste I de Houicourt]] on August 1, 1622 as a chiefly military order and then reformed in 1766 by [[Guillaume IV de Donne]] into something more closely resembling the modern order. The order is often awarded to highly succesful [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] musicians, actors, politicians and scholars as well as foreign diplomats and rulers who have contributed to Yonderre. | ||
