The Augustan Society, Inc., recognizes Orders of Chivalry and Titles of Royalty and Nobility, all of which are necessarily dependent upon a legitimate ''fons honorum''. Thus it is appropriate that the Society have a procedure for review and '''Recognition of ''Fontes Honorum'''.''
== Fons Honorum ==Responsibility for review of proposed recognition lies with the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee]]. They have established a [[House Recognition Procedure]] that details the process they will follow.
Fees are normally charged for such recognition, but the [[Royalty & Nobility Chairman]], at his sole discretion, may waive such fees when the petition is submitted by a [[Directors|Director]] or a member of the Royalty & Nobility Committee.
The fount of honour (Latin: fons honorum) refers to a person, 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.
The Augustan Society, in connection with its recognition of orders of chivalry and noble titles granted to individuals must, of necessity, consider the legitimacy of the fons honorum of the authority granting these honors.----
