Knighthood

It seems almost impossible these days to go to a formal function anywhere without seeing at least one person wearing an "Order" which, should you be so bold as to ask the wearer for an explanation, turns out to be something you've never heard of before. Almost invariably, the wearer will tell you it was given to him by Prince "This" or Prince "That", the last surviving scion of a Royal House which you are convinced became extinct centuries ago.

Many wearers of such "Orders" rest with the assumption that the average person will have no idea what is and what is not a valid Order, and those who do know would be far too polite to start an argument in public. Yet, most of our clients aim for a valid and widely accepted honor by a legitimate institution and not a worthless bogus award. And this is exactly, in full accordance with our business philosophy, what we are able to offer to selected prospective clients. All of the knightly decorations we proudly present are first class decorations which are only granted upon recommendation to suitable individuals.

Today a legitimate order of knighthood is either:

  • The present-day continuation of a widely accepted historical order of knighthood or
  • The modern-day creation or revival of a monarchical order patterned after historical orders of knighthood

...which is defined as legal, recognized and acknowledged as such by a sovereign authority. Most of the legitimate orders are recognized by the The International Commission on Orders of Chivalry (ICOC).

All other institutions which claim to be "legitimate" are in fact self-styled and illegitimate. The honors which are awarded (often via the Internet) by these pseudo-orders to anyone who is willing to pay the fee are completely worthless and make, in the best case, no contribution to the acquirement of an increased social standing.

GVS Consult Inc. has substantial connections to the most prestigious orders of knighthood.
