The Order of Defense

The Order of Defense, founded in 2015, is one of four bestowed peerages. Per the Governing Documents, a Master of Defense “[…] must be considered the equal of his or her prospective peers with the basic weapons of rapier and/or cut-and-thrust combat [and] must have applied this skill and/or knowledge for the instruction of members and service to the kingdom to an extent above and beyond that normally expected of members of the Society.” A white livery collar is the registered and protected regalia for the Order, and the badge of the Order is (tinctureless) three rapiers in pall inverted tips crossed.
