Herditary Knighthood
Members of the Order who are in good standing may be nominated or may petition to be raised to the level of "Hereditary Knight". The Hereditary Knight is different from the regular knights and dames whose title is not transmissible to their heirs. They also automatically assume the rank of Knight or Dame Grand Cross and this rank is inheritable by their deignated heirs.
However, being a Hereditary Knight carries a heavy burden upon the title holder and would involve their heirs and indirectly, their families too. As Hereditary Knights, they are the Custodians of the Order and are bound by their oath to ensure that the order continues through the ages.
Once a member has been elevated to the rank of Hereditary Knight, they must prepare their heirs who would later take over their place. Hereditary Knights automatically outrank the regular knights and dames. The Grandmaster himself is a Hereditary Knight considering the hereditary nature of the Grandmastership.
Requirements for nominees:
In good standing within the Order
Has been in the order for more than 2 years
Has held several administrative offices within the order
Holds the rank of Knight or Dame or above
Has a legitimate heir
A waiting period of a year from the time of application
With over a hundred members spread across the globe in more than 20 counties, the order is a champion of cultural understanding and unity. We always welcome new members and look for opportunities to expand.
