ristotle,
teacher of Alexander the Great, said: "the vulgarities of ordinary men seem to identify with happiness and pleasure, which is the reason why they love the life of enjoyment, they comprise the mass of mankind and are evidently quite slavish in their tastes, preferring
a life suitable to beasts. On the other hand, noble men show superior refinement and are of active disposition
for they identify happiness with honor." 1
Beauty will save the world2

he man of honor lives as an eagle, royal bird par excellence, he does not live attached to the ground like a reptile or a worm, coveting
material things.
He does not lead a miserable life
nor endeavor to acquire unworthy
advantages.
To the contrary, he aspires to rise above the rest. The man of Honor cares for his country and his own destiny. further information
or your interest, the principal inspiration of our noble Order is the Spanish H.M. King Alfonso X the Wise, also known as "King of the Three Religions", King of Castile (1221-1284).
As a ruler, Alfonso showed great legislative capacity, and a wish to provide his subjects with a code of laws and a consistent judicial system.
As a writer and intellectual he gained considerable scientific fame based on his encouragement of astronomy.
He made his Court a multicultural haven for artists, scientists, and musicians of all backgrounds.
And thus we endeavor to emulate King Alfonso the Wise, to gather together men and women of Honor around the World in our noble Order.

Acts of Chivalry:
Dear reader, please dot not forget these beautiful words, written by Don Miguel de Cervantes, Prince of Wits, in his magnum opus, The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha.
iberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven hath bestowed on man, exceeding all the treasures which earth encloses or which ocean hides; and for this blessing, as well as for honor, we may and ought to venture life itself: on the other hand, captivity and restraint are the greatest evils that human nature can endure.3
|
|
e look forward to a time when honor as a moral value that governs human behaviour will prevail, and the banners of justice, mercy and brotherhood among peoples will be raised in order to achieve security, stability and peace for all humanity.
f you require any further information, please do not hesitate to let us know, we will be pleased to promptly acquiesce. further information
