Coeur de Lion Commandery of Knights Templars and The Appendant Orders

I hate to ask this, as I fear it will draw a few NWO people out of the crowd, as this type of thing tends to do, but does anyone have any information as the when this group became nonexistant? I have come across a book of bylaws of the above group, the book looks fairly new, but is dated 1899. I had not heard of this, and figured it to no longer be around.

I did some digging around... All I've come up with so far is noticing a trend for Commanderies being named Coeur de Lion # so-and-so, like Lodge names. Seems to be a popular name for them... Coeur de Lion translates to "Lionhearted" which is a reference to King Richard.

Not much, I know, but it's something.

Yeah, I picked up on the Richard the lionheart part, and saw there were a few lodges around. This book is from boston massacusets. I should be getting it in a few days, so I will find out.

here are some pictures of the book









The text reads:

Coeur de Lion Commandery

I figure its some kind of constitution/yearbook for the commandry. Oh well, it was cheap ($25-ebay) so it wont dissapoint me too terribly bad.

A Commandery of Knights Templar is a part of the York Rite of Freemasonry.

Be thankful for the Poor Fellow-Soldier, for they rescued the Testimony from Nebo.
