The classes and regalia of the Holy Order have undergone significant changes after the order was first instituted. The class of Knight Commander was originally restricted to members of the clergy, however, when the third knighthood was bestowed, it was in the class of Knight Commander despite being given to a lay person. The fourth honor was bestowed at the level of Grand Knight Commander, which was originally intended to be a class held by the sovereign alone. | The classes and regalia of the Holy Order have undergone significant changes after the order was first instituted.
