Abstract
The author describes events related to the activities of Crusader organizations in Savska Banovina, from the establishment of the Great Crusader Brotherhood and the Great Crusader Sisterhood, spanning the period from 1930 to 1934. In addition to the introduction, the paper provides an analysis of reports from district administrations concerning the activities of these organizations,
year by year, from 1930 until the end of 1934. The reports predominantly cover activities that the Crusader organizations were not supposed to engage in, as these were not prescribed by their rules; they were secular rather than religious in nature. As a result, state authorities prohibited such activities and imposed fines and other penalties, including bans on association activities, monetary
fines, and imprisonment for the leaders of the organizations.
