Lineages of Belted Fighters - Background Information General Information: This list is based on available copies of Kingdom Orders of Precedence, histories, and Chronicles from Tournaments Illuminated and various Kingdom newsletters, and memory. As such, it is obviously both incomplete and subject to errors (not to mention little details like people who have changed their names since). Any additions, corrections, or copies of Orders of Precedence would be greatly appreciated. The ordering is based primarily on the thesis that knighthood comes from the Crown (a debatable point); so who was King is relevant, not who held the sword (although it would be interesting to know for those cases where it was not the King or not only the King) or whether the King was actually even present (as opposed to having authorized someone else to act). This includes cases where the King was an unbelted fighter, but was subsequently knighted. An exception is made where the unbelted king was either a) never knighted or b) eventually knighted by someone who was knighted by him or someone whom he knighted; in those cases, the tie is made based on who was holding the sword. For those who were knighted by any individual, the ordering is chronological by month and year (but not by day of month because that detail is generally not available), and alphabetical within a given month. The first generation of the chivalry includes all of those who were knighted through 12th Night II, when the institution was regularized. (Details on who knighted whom through this time are omitted, although the nominal dates have been retained.) All of these individuals constitute the first generation of the chivalry. The names of those members of the orders who are deceased have their names printed in red. Definitions: Name and Place in Lineage: The name listed is generally the name the person was belted under. The current name, if different, is listed in parenthesis when it is known. Intermediate names are not listed. The number before the name is the generation in the Lineage. Each person was belted by the person immediately above them with the next lower number. Area: The Area given is the primary area the person resided in at the time of belting. Belted Date: All dates are given as Anno Society. The first date is the month of they year (i.e. 05 = May). The second number is the year of the society. The society started on May 1, 1966. To calculate the modern era date, add the AS year to 1966 and subtract 1 for May through December. For January through April, add the AS year to 1996. I have included a conversion table below. Order: This is used to indicate whether the person is a knight or master. Arms: The arms of the knight/master if known. Color: If a knight or master is deceased, the row is shown in red. |
