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 such ''fontes honorum''.
== Fons Honorum ==Responsibility for review of proposed recognition lies with the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee]], which has not yet established a procedure or petition forms for such. The procedure should be listed here once it has been agreed upon.

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.
