Crusaddle

Crusaddle: noun. The specially designed saddles intended for the heroes of the First Crusade, which were specially commissioned by Pope Urban II and meant as a reward. The saddle were decorated by half of all the jewels available to the Vatican at the time. Later realising its mistake the Church bought or demanded most of the saddles back in later years, so that now there are only 3 examples in the world, that do not belong to the Catholic Church. The whereabouts of one of these remains unknown except to a select few, who have guarded it for centuries as the Order of the Bestudded Saddle.
