TheOrder of Saint Lazarus was established as a military and religious community atthe time of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem,probably some years before 1090. Presuming a foundation date of 1099 for theOrder of the Hospital (now the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Order of Saint John), the Order of Saint Lazarus maybe the oldest surviving of the medieval military-religious knightly orders.From its inception, the order was concerned with the relief of leprosy, andmany of its members were lepers who had been knights in other orders. It becamevery rich, its practices dubious, and its funds much abused. With the fall ofAcre in 1291 the knights of St Lazarus fled the Holy Land and Egypt and settled in Franceand, in 1311, inNaples. In thesixteenth century, the order declined in credibility and wealth. With papalsupport, Duke of Savoybecame Grand Master in 1572.
TheOrder of St Maurice was founded in 1434 by Amadeus VIII, Duke of Savoy, who becameAntipope Felix V. The order declined, but in 1572 was reestablished by PopePius V at the instigation on the then Duke of Savoy.
Beforeits transfer to the House of Savoy, the Orderof Saint Lazarus maintained a number of leper hospitals, prominent among thesean institution in the Italian city of Capua.French knights were reluctant to accept the Savoy grand mastership with effect in theircountry and the French kings maintained protectorate over Order of SaintLazarus. In 1572 Pope Gregory XIII merged the Italian foundation of the Orderof Saint Lazarus with the Order of St Maurice.The new order was charged to defend the Holy See as well as continue to assistlepers. The war galleys of the order fought against the Turks and the Barbary pirates. When leprosy again broke out the orderfounded, in 1773, ahospital in Aosta.
Withthe Italian unification (1860-1871), the order became a de facto Italian stateaward for civilian and military merit, consisting of five classes: Knight GrandCross, Knight Grand Officer, Knight Commander, Knight Officer and Knight.
AfterItaly became a republic in1946 the order was effectively replaced by the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. Since 1951 it has not beenrecognised officially by the Italian state. The House of Savoy in exile continued to bestow theorder. Today it is granted to persons eminent in the public service, science,art, letters, trade, and charitable works. While the continued use of thosedecorations conferred prior to 1951 is permitted in Italy, the crowns on the ribbonsissued before 1946 must be substituted for as many five pointed stars onmilitary uniforms.
