GRAUS, Igor: Development of Order Insignia up to 19th Century.

Vojenská história, 3, 17, 2013, pp. 6-43.

The study deals with the development process of the honour insignia design of the orders since 1578, when the French Order of the Holy Spirit was founded. This order has significantly influenced not only the French orders but has also become the basis for standards used by the founders of numerous European orders up until establishment of the insignia for the French Order of the Legion of Honour in 1804. Further on, the author is examining the process of internal hierarchy of particular orders founded in the period from 1693 to 1804, which was manifested externally in hanging the jewels on different types ofribbons. Special attention is paid to the genesis of the concept of class, which has, since 1757, identified the relevant level of internal structure of many orders and finally became the professional phaleristic term for identifying individual levels of internal hierarchy of honours in form of orders, even if it is not presently used in their own charters and has never been used before.
