The Order of Ottokar is a dynastic order of knighthood founded in Agram by Ban Weslley of Horvatia in 2016, to celebrate the establishment of the Kingdom of Horvatia and the signature of the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016 in 10 May 2016 and was created to be the most prestigious orders of Horvatia. On 22 April 2020, the order was transferred to the Royal Family of Sildavia, and was removed of the list of honours of the Empire of Karnia-Ruthenia. The Order was established as a dynastic order of the House of Sildavia and linked to the kingdom's honor system.
History
The Order of Ottokar was created in 2016 by Prince Weslley of Agram, Ban of Horvatia, named after King Ottokar II of Bohemia and also to celebrate the creation of the Kingdom and the signing of the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016. The motto of the order is Qui Ludere Cum Spinis Scabere, Latin for Who stirs with thorns, is scratched.
The Ban of Horvatia is, while in office, the Grand Master of the Order and the Hereditary Prince of Agram is the Chancellor of the Order. Only the Ban may grant, promote or revoke the membership. The inspirations of the Order of Ottokar was the Polish Order of the White Eagle and German Order of the Black Eagle.
On 22 April 2020, the Imperial House of Karnia-Ruthenia transferred the sovereignity of the order to the Royal Family of Sildavia. Under the terms of this arrangement, the Order would be again reverted to Karno-Ruthenian Monarchy if the terms of the transfer were violated. The orders granted during the Karno-Ruthenian period will be maintained.
