Imperial Order of Guadalupe

edit
 
Cross of "National Order of Our Lady of Guadalupe"
  •   The Order of Guadalupe (originally: "National Order of Our Lady of Guadalupe") was established by EmperorAgustín I of Mexico in the autumn of 1821, although its statutes would not be published until February 1822. It was originally divided into two classes:Grand Cross andNumerary Member. After the abdication and death of Emperor Agustin I, the Order fell out of use and remained inactive for 30 years untilAntonio López de Santa Anna convincedPope Pius IX to recognize it in 1854. It fell into disuse again in August of that same year after the successfulAyutla Revolution and the ousting of Santa Anna from government. The third and last period of the Order began on June 30, 1863, before the arrival ofMaximilian I of Mexico, by decree of the Provisional Imperial Government.
