[Ansteorra] Order of Chivalry Website

[Morgan Buchanan]

Just a correction...

Of course there is only ONE Order, with two equal parts.  The Knights and
Masters are both members of the same Order of Chivalry.  We just have
different titles and slightly different jewelry.  Sorry if I caused any
confusion, and thanks to the kind gentle who corrected me.
