-The Order of the Chivalry is bestowed on those people who are “considered the equal of his or her prospective peers with the basic weapons of tournament combat." (Corpora, Article VIII.A.4.a)
+The **Order of the Chivalry** is bestowed on those people who are “considered the equal of his or her prospective peers with the basic weapons of tournament combat." (Corpora, Article VIII.A.4.a)
 The Order of the Chivalry is one of the four [[scaism:society for creative anachronism|SCA]] Peerages, along with the [[Order of the Laurel]], the [[Order of the Pelican]], and the [[Order of Defense]].  It is a Society wide Award that is recognized in every Kingdom in the [[scaism:Knowne World]] and conveys to the member a [[Patent of Arms]], no matter which [[activities:service:offices:Crown]] of which Kingdom bestowed the Award.

 There is a legacy chain which has been passed down through all Knights and Masters of Arms who have lived in Ealdormere.  Traditionally this chain is passed on to the newest member of the Order of Chivalry, either at their elevation ceremony or when they first move into the Kingdom and swear fealty to the Crown of Ealdormere.  Knights wear the legacy chain, while Masters of Arms hold it in trust.
-Knights are addressed as "Sir", regardless of gender; Masters of Arms are addressed as "Master" or Mistress'
+Knights are addressed as "Sir", regardless of gender. In Ealdormere, Masters of Arms are all addressed as "Master", though a female Master of Arms has the option of choosing to be addressed as "Mistress".

 The actual “Knighting” ceremony is one of the few honours in the SCA that is not entirely bestowed by the Crown; if the sitting monarchs are not themselves members of the Order of the Chivalry, a member of the Order is required to participate in the actual Knighting as Corpora states that “only a knight can make a knight.” All members of the Order of the Chivalry, therefore, are in direct lineage to the first Knight in the SCA, one Sir Siegfried von Hoflichskei who was a mundane knight and one of the original attendees at the 1966 May Day Party which became the start of the SCA.
+Although many fighters were knighted by the Midrealm before Ealdormere was itself a kingdom, Sir Edward the Red was the premier of the Order of Chivalry elevated in Ealdormere.
