	Titles Of Honour - LoveToKnow 1911
		Himself become the fountain of honour, he showered his titular attributes upon those whom it was his whim or his policy to distinguish, while ever fresh styles were invented to illustrate his own unique dignity.
		Very rare are the titles of honour that have their origin in the idea of gentle birth, which indeed, in earlier times, was predicated of all wearers of titles in Europe.
		Among titles of honour, finally, may be reckoned honorary degrees bestowed by universities, the pope, and in England by the archbishop of Canterbury.

	Honour and shame

		When Lloyd George was prime minister he actually sold honours for cash and used the money for his personal political fundraising, but corruption and honours had always gone hand in hand from the very beginning and there are those who believe that the two are virtually indivisible by the very nature of the patronage process.
		But apart from the sniff of traditional sleaze, which has always surrounded the system, what is wrong with it is that all honours come from the top and none have any democratic legitimacy about them and the awards given relate to the social class of the recipient and not the service that has been rendered.
		That is also what the present Honours list is all about and, speaking for myself I would far rather be an honorary member of the NUM as I am - membership number 001 - than be in the House of Lords, and I don't have to prove it.

	The Monarchist League of Canada
		All official Honours in Canada stem from the Queen of Canada.
		In a monarchy, Honours do not come from the people or from the country; they are a mark of the Sovereign's favour.
		People sometimes think of these as "British" Honours but in fact they are simply "Honours from the Queen" inherent in her position as Sovereign irrespective of geography.

	Fount Of Honour
		The fount of honour (Latin : ''fons honorum'') refers to a nation's head of state, who, by virtue of his or her official position, has the exclusive right of conferring legitimate titles of nobility and orders of chivalry to other persons.
		During the High Middle Ages, European knight s were essentially armoured, mounted warriors; it was common practice for knights to confer knighthoods upon their finest soldiers, who in turn had the right to confer knighthood on others.
		For example, in the United Kingdom, where the fount of honour is the Monarch (the King or Queen), some societies have permissions from the Monarch to award medals, but these are to be worn on the right side of the chest.

	Honour
		Honour was indeed the essential being of the Yehat, and although there was soon to be a war waged over which honour was the true one, not a single Yehat in this room questioned any of it.
		Honour came from within - the knowledge of what was right and what was wrong, and the strength of purpose to fight for the good and defy the evil.

	BRITISH CROWN : Encyclopedia Entry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It has long been established in the uncodified Constitution of the United Kingdom that political power is ultimately exercised by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, of which the Sovereign is a non-partisan component, along with the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and by the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
		Thus, as the modern British monarchy is a constitutional one, the Sovereign's role is in practice limited to non-partisan functions (such as being the fount of honour).
		Similarly, the monarch is also the fount of honour, or the source of all honours and dignities in the United Kingdom.

	Fount of honour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the High Middle Ages, European knights were essentially armoured, mounted warriors; it was common practice for knight commanders to confer knighthoods upon their finest soldiers, who in turn had the right to confer knighthood on others upon attaining command.
		After the end of feudalism and the rise of the nation-states, such orders and knighthoods, along with titles of nobility (in the case of monarchies), became the domain for the monarchs (heads of state) to reward their loyal subjects (citizens) - in other words, the heads of state became their nations' "fountains of honour".
		For example, in the United Kingdom, where the fount of honour is the Monarch, some societies have permissions from the Monarch to award medals, but these are to be worn on the right side of the chest.

	Knight - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia
		The British honours system originates with the chivalric Order of the Garter, and has diversified into various other orders since the 17th century.
		Not only was this often successful, once established, this prerogative of the Head of State was even transferred to the successors of dynasties in republican regimes, such as the British Lord Protector of the Commonwealth (his very title means Regent in stead of the abolished -Stuart- King) Cromwell.
		Originally, knighthood could be bestowed on any man by a knight commander, but it was generally considered more prestigious to be dubbed a knight by the hand of a monarch or royalty; the monarch eventually acquired the exclusive right to confer knighthoods known as Fount of honour.

	GLOSSARY - BURKE'S GUIDE TO BRITISH TITLES
		From roughly the 18th century on, the monarch tended to be supplanted as chief mover in the award of baronies, indeed all titles of honour, by politicians, principally the prime minister, though the monarch could and did protest in private (but often to no avail) at what he or she considered unsuitable choices.
		Nevertheless the official 'fount of honour' remains the Crown.
		In Ireland the term barony could have three meanings: (1) a title of honour; (2) an administrative unit of territory, smaller than a county, roughly equivalent to a hundred in England (3) a feudal status involving the administration of local law courts and imposition of certain dues.

	Wemyss's Appalling Hobby: - The Potter Armorial, Part One (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		With the late unnatural and wicked Rebellion behind us, new armigers have arisen, old families have been renewed and their services recognised with re-granted or differenced arms, and cadet branches of certain families have been granted new achievements recognising their creation of what will be new families of note in Wizarding society.
		The Victors have, naturally, been accorded recognition and honour in some small repayment of a debt too great ever fully to be repaid, and a renewal of ties to the Continent has resulted in the differencing of some arms and the re-grant of others, as will be seen below.
		Supporters, mottoes, badges, and the like are jealously guarded and rarely awarded honours in any case, regardless of the armiger’s sex, and of course the only woman in Great Britain whose achievement bears as of right a helm, is HM the Queen, as Sovereign.

	Scottish feudal baronies (feudal barons, feudal baron) including the oath of a knight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The link between titles of honour and land ownership in the Middle Ages not only makes sense but is inevitable when one considers that, at that time, wealth (and therefore military strength and political power) was dependent on the ownership of land.
		In these circumstances it would hardly have made sense to have titles of honour that were not based on the ownership of land; such titles would have been 'empty titles' indeed.

	House of Commons - Public Administration - Fifth Report
		Reforms of the honours system instigated in the past forty years by Harold Wilson and John Major have been intended to produce a fairer balance between the public, private and voluntary sectors, and they have been partly successful in achieving that aim.
		Scientists often produce their best work in small groups, and we heard evidence that some were uneasy with being singled-out for honours while others who contributed to research success were left out.[48] But it is not just scientists who are affected.
		In 2000, the Wilson Review calculated that 22 out of 54 members of the honours committees were civil servants.[62] However, because of multiple memberships, civil servants occupied 55 out of the 89 places available, and all of the members of the leading Main honours committee were civil servants.

		In the same way, The Queen has created special awards for Canadians who have served her by doing something especially outstanding: a deed or a life which has won them the admiration of their fellow citizens, and sometimes brought recognition to Canada from around the world.
		In this way The Queen is called “the Fount of Honour.” (“Fount” is a word meaning “source” or “origin”) Any official honours in Canada are established by Her Majesty, and administered in her name by her Canadian Governor General through the Honours Secretariat at Rideau Hall.
		It is the example of her dedication for nearly fifty years that has inspired generations of Canadians to make the contributions for which they are recognized.

		With that in mind On Toasts It has been a tradition in Ealdormere, and previously in the Middle Kingdom of which we were part of, to engage in a ceremony of toasts at each feast we attend.
		Traditionally, one person works behind the scenes to coordinate the toasts at the beginning of feast; this can be the Feast Herald, the Head Lady-in-Waiting, Their Majesties’ Chamberlain, a Peer, or someone who holds a similar position acting at the discretion of the Crown.
		We do honour to them because they are the premier peers of the realm, the fount of honour for our Kingdom, and when seated at head table, act as our hosts at feast and the lord and lady of the feast hall.
