[Ansteorra] knights' chains

[Susan McMahill]

While the one bestowed always has sentimental value, it is possible for chains to be given. I know many knights that have multiple chains for various reasons/garb. One of the first gifts I gave the knight who was to become my husband, was a chain that he had admired at Gulf War. He has others that have been given at various times in the nearly 30 years that he has been a knight.
