Hi TPC

This is a subject I was reading about only the other day!

What is the spouse of a Knight addressed as?


'Lady' followed by her first name.

Are people Knighted Posthumiously?


Yes, but I think they're only awarded posthumously for acts of valour??

You can learn more HERE and HERE.

Pippy :D

Hi there'a museum in London for the Order of St John, which was in one of the articles Pippy mentioned

http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/london/museum/SE000049.html?ixsid=

I don't think many of us Brits know much about these things.......a knight would probably be wearing an old tweed jacket .......certainly no suits of armour these days!

This may sound a bit daft, but we went to Tintagel a few years back - its all related to King Arthur but the only Knights in it are in the Round Table Museum! It may not be knights in yuor sense, but it s stunning spot, the castle ruins are beautiful, the village full of stuff to do with the legend and a hall re the round table stuff.

:wink:

Ahh you guys.

It's a big deal over here. So British,, nothing else like it anyplace.
Seems like it's so trival in the UK.

Ok,, then,, maybe I'll settle to just raise a glass with the Chelsea Pentioners instead.

TPC, we are very proud of our history and heritage :)

But most of us never come into contact with any Lords and Ladies or similar.

Which part of the UK are you planning to visit? Then maybe we can point you in the direction of some museums etc. nearby?

York has some good museums, if you are thinking of going somewhere other than London.

There`s also The Royal Armouries at Leeds, if you`re interested in historical weapons and armour. Also, the Tower of London is well worthy of a visit.

What about the Royal College of Arms? Perhaps they can help you.
