The Order of the Jarretière (officially the Most Noble Order of the Jarretière) is an order of chivalry founded by Alexander of the Nortonians in 2022 and regarded as the most prestigious Nortonian order of chivalry.

Appointments are made at the sole discretion of the Sovereign, and like the Order of the Garter, appointments are usually made on St. George's Day (23 April), as the patron saint of Norton is Saint George - however, some exceptions remain. Honours may also be released on New Years.

The sovereign may only appoint 24 of his citizens, though may appoint as many supernumerary knights – members of the Royal Family, and foreign monarchs – as he wishes.

The order's emblem is a red (rouge) belt, with the words IE•MAINTIENDRAI•MON•DROIT (French: I will maintain my right) in gold lettering.

Insignia

The member, upon appointing, may wear a four-inch (10.16 cm)-wide sash worn over their left shoulder to their right hip. The arms of the Order may be worn on this sash on the left breast, unless in military uniform with medals. Also, a breast star may be worn with the sash. Pendant from the bow on the sash is the royal cypher encircled with the circles of the Jarretière.

Composition

The Order is considered a personal gift from the sovereign, where he doesn't require permission from government to appoint members. Membership consists of 24 Regular Knights or Ladies Companion, and various Supernumerary members. These include the Sovereign of the Order, Alexander I; various Royal Knights or Ladies Companion, all coming from the Royal House; and various Stranger Knights and Ladies Companion, which consists of foreign monarchs that the Sovereign chooses.

Membership

Membership is considered a personal gift of the Sovereign under his terms of Chivalry. The member must be faithful to his beliefs, whether they are religious beliefs or not, hold fair morals, and also have loyalty to the Crown.
