APOCALYPSE, KNIGHTS OF THE

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 169 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
APOCALYPSE, KNIGHTS OF THE , a
secret
  society founded in Italy in 1693 to defend the
church
  against the expected Antichrist. Agostino Gabrino, the son of a merchant of Brescia, was its founder. On Palm Sunday 1693, when the choir of St
Peter
 's was chanting Quis est iste Rex Gloriae? Gabrino,
sword
  in hand, rushed to the altar crying Ego sum Rex Gloriae. Though Gabrino was treated as a madman, the society flourished, until a member denounced it to the
Inquisition
 , who arrested the knights. Though chiefly
mechanics
  they always carried swords even when at
work
 , and wore on their breasts astar with seven rays. Gabrino styled himself monarch of the Holy Trinity. He was credited by his enemies with a desire to introduce
polygamy
 .
