  Order of the Dragon
On December 13, 1308, the fraternal aspect of the "Dragon Court" was formally reconstituted by King Sigismund von Luxemborg of Hungary during a time of policital turmoil and war.
This new "Order of the Dragon" was an institution modeled on the Order of St. George (1318), although it was by no means a conventional Order in the recognized chivalric sense.
It seems that the reason for the secrecy of the Order may have been because the ultimale aim was to gain political supremacy in Europe for the House of Luxemborg.

 Sovereign Military Order of the Byzantine Eagle
The symbol of the order was to be the insignia of the dragon, with its tail curved around its neck and the cross of Saint George emblazoned on its flank.
To this effect, the Order of the Dragon divorced itself from a traditional, dynastic Order of Chivalry associated with the House of Luxembourg, the Holy Roman Empire or the Crown of Hungary.
The Order is sovereign and military in organization, beholden to no state or political purpose, merely seeking to further the humanitarian and Christian charitable aims and causes that were paramount in the golden age of the Dragon Order.

 Order of the Dragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Order of the Dragon (German: Drachenorden; Latin: Societas Draconistrarum) is an order of selected nobles modeled on the Order of Saint George of Burgundy.
For their symbol, the Order designed an insignia of a dragon with its tail coiled around its neck; on the back of the dragon, from the base of the neck to the tail, is the Red Cross of Saint George, with the entire image on an argent field.
The Order of the Dragon was used in Elizabeth Kostova's novel The Historian.

 Order of the Dragon
The Order of the Dragon (German "Drachenorden" and Latin "Societatis draconistrarum") was an institution, similar to other chivalric orders of the time, modelled on the Order of St George (1318).
In all of these cases, the dragon was intended to convey a favourable image drawn from medieval iconography in which the dragon represents the Beast of Revelation (Satan) who is slain by the forces of good (Christianity).
After the death of Sigismund in 1437, the Order of the Dragon lost much of its prominence, though its iconography was retained on the coats-of-arms of several noble families.
