Recognition of Titles of Nobility

Recognition of Titles of Nobility

The Committee is responsible for advising the Board of Directors on recognition of titles of nobility and royalty. Members are advised than not all titles on offer are legitimate. This Committee will review and make recommendations to members on such upon request. The Committee understands that noble titles and traditional social elites arise from a wide range of cultural contexts. While the focus of the Committee has historically been noble titles of European origin, increasingly titles arising from Asia, Africa, and other regions are considered.

Note: The Augustan Society does not claim to be a definitive authority on the legitimacy of titles or orders of chivalry. The recognition of such honors are matters of internal protocol and for the use of the relevant honorifics within the Society.
