No awards
Any gentle in the Society may be properly addressed as "milord" or "milady" if their rank is unknown. No gentle who bears awards or honours of any type should ever chastise another for using this form of address; better by far to explain the correct form of address, either for themself or a third party.

Patent of Arms
The holders of Patents of Arms are considered Peers. They may be subdivided into two categories: Royal Peers, which are those gentles who have held royal rank at least once, and Peers of the Society, who are members of one of the three Great Orders.
Royal Peers are those who:
- Have reigned at least once as Prince/Princess of a Principality, and are styled Viscount/Viscountess;
- Have reigned once as King/Queen of a Kingdom, and are styled Count/Countess; and
- Have reigned twice or more as King/Queen of a Kingdom, and are styled Duke/Duchess.
Peers of the Society are members of:
- The Order of Chivalry;
- The Order of the Laurel; and
- The Order of the Pelican.
