Prefix Titles for Knights (Male / Female)

We could have if Washington wanted to... they (colonists and founding fathers) did offer him the chance to be king about two times.


So instead of Kings and Queens we have, bear with me here, "His High Mightiness, the President of the United States and Protector of their Liberties" We Americans are so lucky that we no longer have to call Presidents that, but that is the technical title and way to address the President of the United States..too much of a mouthfull really

I spent a little while wondering about using accomplishment, personality and specialty based titles for Knights. Specific little informal titles. For example; William Kaede, Knight of Heresy.


Something that gives insight into a person. They'd have to be given by others though.

It was my understanding that one simply needed a font of honor with sufficient authority--IIRC, other Churches have used the authority of their Divinity as their font, through their high priest, whereas more "modern" organizations tend to find their fonts in heads of state.

While the titles themselves may cause a bit of a row in public, I don't necessarily know that there's anything stopping one from doing so. That said, I would assume that many areas of British origin would have some kind of law governing their use.

Like I think I saw before, would rank be used as a ceremonial purpose. I don't mean like "sir" or "lady", but the ranks like master, knight or whatever. Like in wedding ceremonies, formal gatherings and the such. For example: you are in the military and you are very close to your CO. Any other time you would call him by his name, but formally you refer to his rank. I hope I made sense lol I sometimes can't type what I'm thinking in my head.

I did too. Not just because of the name, but because that is far from accurate for our current president

Every time I see this thread I can't help but want the title...

Number-one Mega-Super Ultra-Ultimate Bad-Ass Jedi Dude... Sir.

hahahhahahhahha :woohoo:

There are church's such as the Roman Catholic that do give knighthoods to people. And their are fraternal organizations, at least in the United States that elect members to knighthood, such as the Elks or Masons who have titles as Lecturing Knight, Loyal Knight or Leading Knight.

As a Church or Fraternal Organization that entity is allowed to give honors or address members or officers as they wish. That does not give them a legal or governmental rights associated with that title and said person receiving those honors are allowed, at least in the United States, can use those titles and honorifics among themselves.

As a side note to the "commonwealth".. while Vermont, New York and most U.S. states are Commonwealths of America as they were either purchased by or entered the Union through treaty or agreement.. there are two acceptions. California and Texas.. Both of which were created as separate countries after a revolt from their former countries and became Republics... That is why.. while the Missouri, Virginia etc etc are all states.. they are the Commonwealth of Missouri.. etc etc.. and while California and Texas are also states.. they are the California Republic and the Texas Republic.
