  • On the Concepts of 'Sovereign' and 'Great' Orders
    ON THE CONCEPTS OF ‘SOVEREIGN’ AND ‘GREAT’ ORDERS Antti Matikkala The only contemporary order of knighthood to include the word ‘sovereign’ in its name is the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and Malta. Sovereignty is here heraldically exemplified by the Grand Master’s use of the closed crown. Its Constitutional Charter and Code explains that the order ‘be- came sovereign on the islands of Rhodes and later of Malta’, and makes the follow- ing statement about its sovereignty: ‘The Order is a subject of international law and exercises sovereign functions.’1 However, the topic of this article is not what current scholarship designates as military-religious orders of knighthood, or simply military orders, but monarchical orders. To quote John Anstis, Garter King of Arms,2 a monarchical order can be defined in the following terms: a Brotherhood, Fellowship, or Association of a certain Number of actual Knights; sub- jected under a Sovereign, or Great Master, united by particular Laws and Statutes, peculiar to that Society, not only distinguished by particular Habits, Ensigns, Badges or Symbols, which usually give Denomination to that Order; but having a Power, as Vacancies happen in their College, successively, of nominating, or electing proper Per- sons to succeed, with Authority to assemble, and hold Chapters. The very concept of sovereignty is ambiguous. A recent collection of essays has sought to ‘dispel the illusion that there is a single agreed-upon concept of sovereignty for which one could offer of a clear definition’.3 To complicate the issue further, historical and theoretical discussions on sovereignty, including those relating to the Order of Malta, concentrate mostly on its relation to the modern concept of state, leaving the supposed sovereignty of some of the monarchical orders of knighthood an unexplored territory.

  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

  • SOSJ SJ Inner Workings 01 Post-Nominals (2) Revised Nov 17
    Title: Deciphering Post-Nominal Letters Our Sovereign Order has a long and wonderful history and many traditions that reflect that history. These sometimes can be opaque to us today, and so from time to time it is helpful to review these “inner workings” to broaden the understanding among our members of how and why we do things. The letters after a person’s name tell us something about the person’s status and achievements within our Sovereign Order. To decipher this code, we need to be clear about three different elements of a person’s status within the order: 1) Type of membership 2) Rank and grade 3) Honours awarded. Types of Membership Our Constitution and Rules provide for three types of membership: 1) Dames and Knights – full members with voting rights, minimum age of 23 2) Demoiselles and Squires – full members without voting rights, minimum age of 18 3) Donats – employees or others serving the Sovereign Order being so honored. The third category is rarely used but provides a means by which a person who has faithfully served our Sovereign Order may be “admitted into the Order” while “not being admitted to full Membership.” Donats are not awarded post-nominal letters, and they needn’t be Christian so long as they have served faithfully and are deemed deserving of special recognition. Demoiselles and Squires are full members of our Sovereign Order. They are not awarded post-nominal letters but may hold offices of trust, though these usually will be at the Commandery level. They are eligible for promotion to Dame or Knight upon reaching the requisite age but, like all promotions, this must be earned by service and is adjudicated by the normal promotion assessment process.

  • Titles – a Primer
    Titles – A Primer The Society of Scottish Armigers, INC. Information Leaflet No. 21 Titles – A Primer The Peerage – There are five grades of the peerage: 1) Duke, 2) Marquess, 3) Earl, 4) Viscount and 5) Baron (England, GB, UK)/Lord of Parliament (Scotland). Over the centuries, certain customs and traditions have been established regarding styles and forms of address; they follow below: a. Duke & Duchess: Formal style: "The Most Noble the Duke of (title); although this is now very rare; the style is more usually, “His Grace the Duke of (Hamilton), and his address is, "Your Grace" or simply, "Duke” or “Duchess.” The eldest son uses one of his father's subsidiary titles as a courtesy. Younger sons use "Lord" followed by their first name (e.g., Lord David Scott); daughters are "Lady" followed by their first name (e.g., Lady Christina Hamilton); in conversation, they would be addressed as Lord David or Lady Christina. The same rules apply to eldest son's sons and daughters. The wife of a younger son uses”Lady” prior to her husbands name, (e.g. Lady David Scot) b. Marquess & Marchioness: Formal style: "The Most Honourable the Marquess/Marchioness (of) (title)" and address is "My Lord" or e.g., "Lord “Bute.” Other rules are the same as dukes. The eldest son, by courtesy, uses one of his father’s subsidiary titles. Wives of younger sons as for Dukes. c. Earl & Countess: Formal style: "The Right Honourable the Earl/Countess (of) (title)” and address style is the same as for a marquess. The eldest son uses one of his father's subsidiary titles as a courtesy.

  • 1 the Most Honourable Order of the Bath Gcb / Kcb / Cb X
    THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH GCB / KCB / CB X - CB - 2020 PAGES: 59 UPDATED: 01 September 2020 Prepared by: Surgeon Captain John Blatherwick, CM, CStJ, OBC, CD, BSc, MD, FRCP(C), LLD (Hon) ===================================================================================================================== ===================================================================================================================== 1 THE MOST HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE BATH (GCB / KCB / CB) When the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, National Order for Ireland was phased out with the death of the Duke of Gloucester in 1974, the Order of the Bath became the third highest Order of Chivalry. Merit and Service were to be the conditions for admission to this Order as opposed to most admissions to the Garter and Thistle being because of birth and nobility. The Order was founded in 1399 and probably took its name from the preparations for the knighthood ceremony where new knights would purify their inner souls by fasting, vigils and prayer, and then cleansing their body by immersing themselves in a bath. The Order was revived in 1725 as a military order with one class of Knights (K.B.). In 1815, the Order was enlarged to three classes: Knights Grand Cross (GCB) Knights Commander (KCB) Companions (CB) There was a civil division of the Knights Grand Cross while all others were to be military officers. In 1847, a civil division for all three classes was established with numbers set as follows: GCB 95 total 68 military 27 civil KCB 285 total 173 military 112 civil CB 1,498 total 943 military 555 civil The motto of the order is " Tria Juncta in Uno " (Three joined in one) which either refers to the three golden crowns within a golden circle worn on the badge, or the three crowns as symbolic of the Union of England, France and Scotland, or the Union of England, Scotland and Ireland or the Holy Trinity.
