The two points I wished to make were that 1) A knight is typically sworn to
uphold the Crown, and the kingdom. A non-belt (who may feel just as
strongly) typically has not. 2) Should non-belts use Crown as an "audition"
to the members of the Chivalry? (that's where taking the sword oath "in
honor" comes in)
