ur Order is a song of praise and a stronghold for moral behavior throughout the World. It honors the origins of noble life, of heroism and of human grandeur. It strives to give mankind back its dignity and prestige which should never have been lost, and constantly endeavors to elevate Honor to a place where it can never be lost again.

e can not forget Honor is that inner strength and nobleness of mind which has the strength of a diamond, it can give us a noble and bright life. That is the reason why men of honor are engaged with noble causes and beauty, and also why honor is considered to be the crown jewel which embellishes and brightens up our souls. It is our inner and spiritual crown, the royal garment of the human being, it is the royal privilege of men.

s said by the Greek philosopher Aristotle who was the teacher of king Alexander the Great: "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

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, and covet material things, he is not one who leads a miserable life or tries to get unworthy advantages. To the contrary, he is one who aspires to raise himself higher than the rest. The man of Honor cares for his country and his own destiny. more information

ou may believe us without any oath that We would our Order of Chivalry , as it is the child of our brain, were one of the most beautiful and the most ingenious, that could be imagined. But We could not counteract Nature's law that everything shall beget its like; and what, then, tilled wit of us beget but the founding of a Order, full of thoughts of all sorts and such as never came into any other imagination -just what might be begotten in a charming city, Marbella, pearl of the Mediterranean, in a cheerful retreat. Pleasant waves, see breeze, bright skies, peace of mind, these are the things that go far to make even the most barren Muses fertile, and bring into the world births that fill it with wonder and delight.

any times did We take up our pens to write them, and many did We lay them down again, not knowing what to write. One of these times, as We were pondering with the papers before us, thinking of what We should say, there came in unexpectedly a certain lively, clever friend of us, who, seeing us so deep in thought, asked the reason; to which We, making no mystery of it, answered that We were thinking which name We could give to our Order, which so troubled us that We had a mind to publish to the world, the most noble Knights and Dames of Honor.

n profound silence We listened to what our friend said, and her observations made such an impression on us that, without attempting to question them, We admitted their soundness, and out of them We determined to make this letter; wherein, gentle reader, you will perceive our friend´s good sense, our good fortune in finding such an adviser in such a time of need, came to our mind "Order of the Royal Honor", a name, to our thinking, royal, noble, original and significant enough that it will easily be held by the inhabitants of kingdoms the world over as being one of the most prestigious and honorable Order their lands have ever seen.

ears later, We went to visit H.S.H. Prince Alfonso zu Holenlohe to his private villa in Marbella, and when We explained the our mission to him, he showed great enthusiasm, wishing to participate in the Order of the Royal Honor, keeping always his entrepreneur spirit, since he had friends within the Royal European and Arab Houses.

He commented to us that people had called him a crazy visionary five times:

"The first time was because I made a tourist resort in Marbella, people at that time used to go to the north, the second time was for taking Volkswagen into Mexico when it was full of Yankee cars, the third time was for bringing Volvo to Spain, when Spain had no commercial agreements with Sweden, the fourth was for making a ski lift at Sierra Nevada, and the fifth was for making wine at Ronda…, but you are crazy too ."

or your interest, one of the inspiration of our noble Order came from the Spanish king Alfonso X the Wise, king of Castile (1221-1284). As a ruler, Alfonso showed legislative capacity, and a wish to provide his kingdoms 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 as known to him through the Arabs. He made his Court a multicultural haven for artists, scientists, and musicians, Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. The king himself composed poetry and learned treatises, and left an enduring cultural legacy that continues to this day.

And we try to do the same, to joint the men and woman of Honor around the World in our noble Order.

We hit upon one of the most important mission that ever Order of Chivalry in this world hit upon, and that is that we fancy it is right and requisite, as well for the support of our own honor:

Ours Missions:

	Noble mission: To join Men and Women of Honor around the World in our noble Order, and as a way to further strengthen their relationship, friendship, respect and cooperation. This is the link of Honor. The Royal Codices Collection
	Royal mission: To Defend the Royal Member's Honor, promoting their Prestige and their Reputation in Humanistic, Historical and Cultural ways, but ony for the ones which we will consider persons of honor. The Holy gesture of Honor The Grand Royal Honor Gala

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.²

e look forward to a time in which honor as a moral value that govern 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.
