Let me relate my experience with "belts".  Many years ago I had a friar
personna.  Part of a friar's garb is a white rope belt with three knots at
the end.  The belt is called a cincture.  Some confused this 1/2 inch wide
white rope belt being worn by a friar for that of a knight's belt.

I'm glad that you brought up this memory, Gilli.

It was about 20 years ago, at the investiture of Prince Randall and 
Princess Constance.  There was a household of monks from the monastery of 
St. Hubrick the Huntsman (mostly from Ft. Hood).  I believe they were 
Franciscans (they wore brown habits).  My ex-husband was one of the company 
and told about having problems with some knights who objected to the 
(obvious) monks wearing the cinctures of white or hemp rope.  There was 
talk of ejecting the monks forcibly from the event if they did not remove 
the offending items.  Duchess Willow came to the rescue by giving the 
company of monks some gold/black cording to wrap around the offending ci  
nctures.

This was actually before my time in the Society and I am relating the story 
as it was told to me.  But I did see the white rope with the cording 
wrapped around it.  And somewhere I have pictures of Randall's and 
Constance's wedding and elevation.  Wasn't it actually at a monastery or a 
church?

Ah, well, it is good to remember our history, both the noble *and* the 
ignoble deeds that have been done.
