The Royalty & Nobility Committee of The Augustan Society, Inc., is responsible for advising the Board of Directors of The Augustan Society, Inc., on recognition of fontes honorum. Members are advised than not all who claim such status are legitimate. While the status of such fontes in the European tradition are generally well established, questions are being raised with increasing frequency from Asia, Africa, and other regions, some of which are difficult to parse through a strictly European lens.
Note: The Augustan Society does not claim to be a definitive authority on the legitimacy of fontes honorum. The recognition of such are matters of internal protocol and for the use of the Society in reviewing decisions to recognize noble titles, untitled nobility, and orders of chivalry.
Fontes honorum are reviewed either by petition from a member or non-member, by request of other review committees of the Society, or in moto proprio by the Royalty & Nobility Committee. Upon reaching a conclusion, the Committee will submit a recommendation to the Board for final recognition.
Review of potential removal of recognition is done at the discretion of the Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman, and again a recommendation for change is submitted to the Board for confirmation. Care must be taken to inform other review committees who might have cause to reexamine other recognitions based on this status.
All deliberations of the Committee are held in strict confidence, and no notice of failed or revoked recognition will be made.
This page should be amended to add the procedure to be followed. One hopes the Chairman will see fit to write such.
