As many as 15 football personalities have been knighted so far (excluding honorary knighthoods). In 1996, New Zealand created its own royal honours system (including knighthoods and damehoods). A list of other people were also honoured with knighthoods, CBE, OBE or BEM. He is exceptional in having received Knighthoods from two Popes. After coronation ceremonies, the sword was used for the purpose of granting knighthoods. Over 30 new knighthoods were granted under the Protectorate. New Zealand awards knighthoods and damehoods through the New Zealand Order of Merit. Knights and Ladies of the Thistle may also be deprived of their knighthoods. In each province, the nobility was organised in knighthoods, which maintained representation in the States-Provincial. Grades, in the form of Knighthoods, are awarded to those of sufficient prowess. Hardinge had the unusual distinction of being a non-royal recipient of six British knighthoods. A Baronetcy is, in the order of precedence, below a Barony but above most knighthoods. The von Knieriem family does not count as members of any of the Baltic knighthoods.
