Well... maybe, and I know this may sound a bit sacreligous to some of you
out there.. but perhaps in those times sword belts just wern't color coded
and white was just popular.  If I remember right from all the books I have
looked at, the chain was the biggest symbol of peerage, that and perhaps
in a few cases a garter.  But I am no expert in these things...
