ORDERS OF CHIVALRY
A member of an order of chivalry can show this as part
of his arms, the usual manner is by putting the badge of the order on a
chain or collar.
The Order of the Fleece existed in most of the countries
that belonged to the Emperor Karl V.

The Order of the Annunciation

The Order of the Garter and the Order
of the Bath are shown as belts with
mottoes written on them.
Garter: "Honi soit
qui mal y pense"

juncta in uno"

Senegal shows its Order of the Republic on
its arms the way European nations show orders of chivalry.

There are two orders associated with the Danish royal arms:
the Order of the Elephant, shown on a chain, and the Order of Dannebrog
(next page), shown as a cross on the shield itself.
