Knighthood, Chivalry and Orders

Knighthood, in the modern sense, is a title bestowed for a variety of services. Originally, you had to be a part of a military in order to the be a knight.  As civilization developed,  the conduct of a knight on the battlefield as in the general activities of everyday life, became the topic of much scrutiny.  Knights, especially Christian Knights, were known for their brutal tactics.

Chivalry is the behavior expected of Knight in social and military  circumstances.    In some associations, men and women are who have demonstrated a capacity for Chivalry are given special honors or appointments in recognition of merit or public service. However where the trafficking and the killing of innocent children, women and men exists,  chivalry carries no meaning and its Knights have become, corrupt,  murderous, immoral, decadent, an absurdity to Knighthood and all that is good.

Orders in the modern world and remember this information is of 1974 and  before: British Orders, 2. Modern European Orders, 3. Latin American Orders.  It would seem that the modern Knight began with Charlemagne . Before Knighthood existed,  to be a soldier in the Roman Empire was something almost any man who lived in the Empire could achieve,  Knighthood changed that.  Knighthood is more esoteric.  But it had its good times and its bad times. Sometimes when a common man was successful in battle, he was called  a Knight.    Sometimes common men were knighted right before a battle to inspire them and give them courage. Sometimes men became knights all on their own.

The second to rank as the premier order of the Kingdom and accessible only to Roman Catholics and the third to be confirmed, from 1862, for merit in science, literature and art.  Later institutions were the orders of Elizabeth (For ladies 1801) of the Tower and of Sword (1808 supposably reviving the Order of the Sword, 1459: reconstituted as an order of Merit, Military, and Civil 1832) Of Our Lady of the Conception of Vila Vicosa (1819) and of agricultural and Industrial merit  1893) and Sword of Agricultural and Industrial Merit, also confers orders of Public Education (1927) of Civil Merit (1929) and of the Colonial Empire (1932)

(FR*)Faille de Robespierre : possible histoire alternative de l’A.H.)  If secularization is an allusion to atheism, secularization, it may’ve occurred after the Providence of 1776-1821 and closer to the time of communism.

MMXII ORBIS TERRARUM JUDICII DEI

Welcome to MMXII Orbis Terrarum Judicivm Dei Château Versailles Starting around the age of 6, my mother,  who educated herself in  English and was a very smart lady, had me on a regular basis rewrite the entire front page of the Orange County Register and read back to her my writings while correcting my pronunciation of words.     This tedious work educated me and accustomed to me reading and writing early in my childhood.  Later my Holy Spirit would have me do the same only with more important information.
