Grand Knight,

The Grand Knight of the Knights Solis is appointed by the Duke/Duchess of Cresonia. The Grand Knight is to serve as the Duke/Duchess’s personal guard. The title of Grand Knight is for life and when one dies a new one is to be appointed. The responsibilities of Grand Knight are all things regarding chivalry and to be the one who allows or rejects those for pagehood or squirehood. 

 

Knight Solis,

A Knight Solis is a veteran of the Order and have been promoted by the Grand Knight. They are allowed to have two squires. A Knight Solis is allowed to hold the title of ‘Ser/Dame’. A Knight Solis can be seen with the Grand Knight guarding the Ducal Family.

 

Knight/Dame,

A man or woman of Cresonia who has passed their trainings during their time of being a squire and has reached the age of eighteen. Or has proven themselves to be worthy by valiant acts to be appointed a Knight/Dame by the Duke/Duchess. All knights or Dames of the Order have the right to use the title of ‘Ser/Dame’.

 

Squire,

A boy or girl who has been taken under the wing of a Knight of Solis to train and teach them on how to be a Knight. These children tend to be around the age of twelve or thirteen. During the time of being a squire they hold no authority over anyone who is of the Order of the Knights Solis.

 

Page,

A page is a young boy or girl who wishes to one day to become apart of the Knights Solis. Usually around the age of eight or nine. They are special in the sense that a Knight takes them into their home and raises them as if they were their own child until they see it fit to pass them onto being a squire on the child's twelfth birthday.

TO BECOME A KNIGHT ONE MUST TRAIN  

 

A page must live with a knight or dame until they’re ready to begin his/her training by their twelfth earliest or thirteenth birthday latest as their mentor sees fit.

 

(A squire begins his/her training the Saint’s Day after they turn 12 or 13)

 

When a squire reaches their seventeenth birthday (age up if impatient or lack of training sessions), they shall ask their mentor Knight/Dame to petition the Grand Knight for the honor and privilege of being given the title of ‘Ser/Dame’.

 

(Once the knighting ceremony takes place and has been completed, they may take on their own page and squire)
