Orders of Knighthood

Orders of knighthood are formal groups or societies established by governments, monarchs, or religious institutions to honor individuals for their exceptional service, bravery, or achievement. Members are often granted titles, medals, or ranks, and may have specific duties or roles within the order. Historically, they stemmed from medieval chivalry, but today they recognize contributions in fields like public service, arts, or charity. These orders symbolize recognition, honor, and ongoing commitment to certain values or duties, maintaining traditions that reinforce societal ideals and acknowledge distinguished accomplishments.
