Rectory of the Order of the Eagle of Georgia and Seamless Tunic of Our Lord Jesus Christ established in The Netherlands


The Order of the Eagle of Georgia and the Seamless Tunic of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a family dynastic institute of the Royal House of Georgia, founded by Saint Queen Tamar (1184-1213) and was reconstituted in 1939 by the grandfather of the current Head of the Royal House, H.R.H. Irakly Bagrationi Mukran, as the main order of the Royal House.

The Order is registered as an institution of chivalry by the International commission for orders of chivalry. It is also listed in Guy Stair Sainty's book; World Orders of Knighthood and Merit (Publisher: Burke's Peerage & Gentry).
