Orders of Knighthood are formal organizations that honor individuals for their service, bravery, or contributions to society. These orders often have a rich history and are associated with specific traditions, ceremonies, and insignia. Members, known as knights or dames, may receive titles and privileges, and they often participate in charitable activities. Many countries have their own Orders of Knighthood, such as the Order of the Garter in England and the Legion of Honour in France. Each order has its own criteria for membership, which can include military service, public service, or significant achievements in various fields.
