To be fair most of the work was done by Ld. Etiennel.  Lord Tidhg has also 
been helping.  I'm just takng the work that they have done and seeing where I 
can go with it.

    I had already been thinking along those lines.  I have an ILL request in 
for the entire book, right now I just have a photocopy of a few pages from it.

The only example I see of an order that is namd afret a person without the 
"ST." is the Order of Madelaine established in France in 1614.  I see a few 
that I'm not sure about such as "The Order of Aubrac" and "The Order of 
Dobrin", but those may be places and not people.

    I find "The Order of Our Lady of Bethlehem"  no date, and "The Order of 
Our Lady of Loreto"  1587

with others such as The Order Of:

    Our Lady of the Lily,  Our Lady of the Thistle, Our Lady of Victory, Our 
Lady of Graces and several others.  all in priod.

I also have a few interesting ones such as:

The Order of the Ermine and The Ear of Corn
The Order of the Defeated Dragon
The Order of the Argonauts
The Order of the Star of the Noble House
The Order of the Alliance
The Order of the Sword Bearers

    I'm looking forward to getting the whole book.
