[Joseph Percer]

Isn't the Sable Garland our kingdom's version of an order of knighthood?

Jayme, the sometimes ignorant.

"The Order of the Chivalry" is the generic term, as in "the three
orders of society: those who pray, those who fight, those who work",
not like of "The Order of the Garter".

Our Game would have to go to the chiropractor -- hell, would have to
be sent to the rack -- to get adjusted into any semblance of proper
shape.  But knights bachelor (out of order, so to speak) I think could
be slotted in OK -- or, rather, our knights are already knights
bachelor.  (Well, except for the knight-only order in the West and
doubtless others elsewhere.)
