I think this might be it:
In 1095 an Order of Hospitallers of St. Antonite was formed by a French nobleman. In 1441, an Antonine confraternity was founded in England. Its members wore an amulet of a tau cross with a bell beneath. It was often key to have a place for a relic, such as the compartment in the pommel as a reliquary. |
