The Orbsmen (/‘ɒɹbsmɪn/; from the Middle English: Orbe Men, “Orb Men”) were a secret society and Gnostic movement who practiced Orbism between the 11th and 15th centuries which throve in South East England. Followers were described as Orbers, Orbsmen, or simply Orbs, and are now mainly remembered for producing remarkably perfect orbs, their socially alienating behavior and appearance, having apparently recorded or collected etchings depicting modern vehicles and the theory of special relativity, and being executed en masse following an individual Orbsman’s assault of Elizabeth of York in 1486.
