Order Of St. Januarius
The Illustrious Royal Order of Saint Januarius (Italian: ''Insigne Reale Ordine di San Gennaro'') is a Roman Catholic order of knighthood founded by Charles III of Spain, Charles VII of Naples in 1738. It was the last great dynastic order to be constituted as a chivalry, chivalric fraternity, with a limitation to Roman Catholics and a direct attachment to the dynasty rather than the state. The founder of the order, Charles VII of Naples, ruled from 1734 until 1759. The grand magistery of the order is disputed among claimants to the headship of the formerly reigning House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Structure of the order Originally, the order had four principal officers, whose duties were to administer its affairs: * Chancellor * Secretary * Treasurer * Master of Ceremonies A reform of 17 August 1827, limited these duties to certain ceremonial roles at the installation of knights, and no successors were appointed to the then-holders of these offices. The order today The order ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
