Knighthood:

The honour of knighthood comes from the days of medieval chivalry, as

does the method used to confer the knighthood: the accolade, or the

touch of a sword by the sovereign.

Although Knights Bachelor do

not comprise an order of chivalry, knighthood is a dignity which has its

origins in Britain in Saxon times. They are styled "Sir" (except for

clergymen who do not receive the accolade) and their wives "Lady".

The honour is given for a pre-eminent contribution in any field of activity.

If I'd known rampant begetting qualified I'd have tried harder [6]
