Everything about The Knights Of The Apocalypse totally explained
The
Knights of the Apocalypse was a
secret society created in
Italy in
1693.
Agostino Gabrino, the son of a
merchant of
Brescia, was its founder. Its professed aim was to defend the
Catholic Church against the expected
Antichrist, but it was accused of having political motives as well. 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 a star with
seven rays. Gabrino styled himself monarch of the Holy Trinity. He was credited by his enemies with a desire to introduce
polygamy.
