	Commandry
		Commandry, (British English) or commandery (American English), was the smallest division of the European landed estate or manor under the control of a commendator, or commander, of an order of knights.
		Originally commandries only existed for the Order of Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, but later also for the Order of Teutonic Knights[?] and other orders.
		Commandry (郡 in pinyin: jùn) had been an administrative level of China.

		It was an important Commandry and sailing point for knights Templars, so in the 18th and 19th century "Chevaliers du Temple Grand Orient" enlisted old Marseilles families whose pedigrees and coats of arms documented a long association with these ideas.
