Order of the Golden Fleece

The Order of the Golden Fleece is an exclusive and historic honor established in 1430 by the Duke of Burgundy. It’s a prestigious chivalric order awarded to distinguished individuals, often in recognition of military, political, or cultural accomplishments. Members wear a distinctive golden fleece pendant as a symbol of honor and loyalty. Over time, it became associated with the Spanish and Austrian royal families, maintaining its status as a symbol of noble tradition, loyalty, and excellence. Today, it remains one of the most esteemed orders of knighthood in Europe, emphasizing heritage, service, and aristocratic prestige.
