==Peerage==<br />
'''The Order of Chivalry''' is an [[order]] of [[peer|peerage]] that is the highest honor one can receive for martial prowess within the [[SCA]]. Those so recognized choose either to become a [[Knight]] or a [[Master of Arms]]. Knights are required to swear fealty to [[the Crown]] and can be recognized by the wearing of a simple [[white belt]] and unadorned gold chain. Masters of Arms ''may'' swear fealty and are recognized by the wearing of a simple white [[Baldric]]. Masters of Arms may wear an unadorned gold chain when they are in fealty. Both may wear gold [[spurs]].<br />
<br />
The Order is of equal [[precedence]] with the other three Polling Order Peerages, the [[Laurel]], the [[Pelican]] and the [[Defense]].<br />
<br />
The Order of the Chivalry is a polling order; members meet regularly in person (and electronically) to discuss potential new inductees and give their advice to the Crown. It is a frequent misconception that the Chivalry elect new members, they merely advise the King and Queen of whom they feel is ready to join the Order, it is the Crown that chooses who to induct and elevates them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some additional notes for those pursuing the path, though each path is highly personal, provided by [[Wigthegn the Younger]] "Since it is a martial peerage, Knights evaluate how a candidate does in competition. The Middle has a number of big tournaments that people can test themselves in (Candlemas, Christmas Tourney, Grand Day, Red Dragon, etc). Back in the day it was referred to as the “Pro-Tour”. These are great places to test yourself against others in the kingdom, which is important because a Knight represents the kingdom."<br />
