The Order of the Laurel

The Laurel is given to those who show true excellence in the arts and/or sciences. Peers must also support the Crown and kingdom, display courteous and noble behaviour, share their knowledge and skills with others, practice hospitality according to their means, and those skills and behaviours appropriate to the court. The token is a medallion bearing a laurel wreath. Laurels in fealty may wear a chain.


The Order of the Laurel ranks equal to the Orders of Pelican, Chivalry and Defence. It conveys a Patent of Arms and is a peerage in the society. Recipients can use the title Master, Mistress or Dame.
