Papal Orders of Chivalry are orders of knighthood bestowed by the Pope. The Holy See, a recognised subject of international law and sovereign entity, has awarded the distinction of knighthood since the early medieval period. Such honours originally conferred nobility, personal or hereditary according to the rank, but today the Papal Orders of Chivalry are chiefly a means by which the Pope distinguishes those who have particularly served the Roman Catholic Church.

  • Papal Orders of Chivalry are orders of knighthood bestowed by the Pope. The Holy See, a recognised subject of international law and sovereign entity, has awarded the distinction of knighthood since the early medieval period. Such honours originally conferred nobility, personal or hereditary according to the rank, but today the Papal Orders of Chivalry are chiefly a means by which the Pope distinguishes those who have particularly served the Roman Catholic Church. The crosses of the Papal Orders are visible marks of recognition and correspond to the awards made by most states to their citizens and others for public and private services. Nominations for appointment to the Papal Orders are generally made, at the suggestion of parish priests, by the local ordinary who forwards the recommendation to the Papal Secretariat of State through the country's Apostolic Nunciature. There is no surviving documentary evidence of a precise foundation date of the earliest Papal Chivalric institution, the Golden Militia, now represented by the second of the Papal Orders, that of the Golden Spur. However, the superior authority of the Holy See as a source of honour was first acknowledged by the Crusader knights who formed the Templar and Hospitaller Orders in the early 12th century.
