History of firsts in knightings.

First Knight Ever

Tawnee was on March 27, 1983 knighted in the Burning Lands, before it was called, that by Peter La Grue Before the belts were separated as we know them today. She was granted this honor for winning the first crown tourney and becoming the First Monarch of Amtgard, by Right of Arms.

First Knight of the Crown

These belts were given before the partitioning of the belts and were ret-coned into separate orders later.

First Knight of the Flame

These belts were given before the partitioning of the belts and were ret-coned into separate orders later.

First Knight of the Serpent

Sir Esoum was knighted in the order of the Serpent on May 4th 1985, in the Burning Lands. She was awarded this honor for her metallurgy and varied skills spanning the Arts and Sciences

There are some that say that Gwynne was the first knight of the serpent(Serpent 08-1984). Her belt being given before Esoum's but also before the belts were partitioned.

First Knight of the Sword

First 4-belted knight

More information on the Belts before they were partitioned. (This information provided by Sir Clalibus) Belts were not partitioned in this time as we know it, they were a knight or not a knight and the original knights of this era were later (Althing on 5-4-85) backdated to have them fill into a defined belt line. a cute aside: the rulebook at this time even stated if you played a squire for a designated amount of time you WOULD receive a knight title (Charloc and Hellspawn being the only two that ever capitalized on this)

The belting ceremony when they first divided them up came much later. once the partition happened (Althing on 4-12-85 peoples belts were deemed of a specific order roughly on what they now qualified for, those who didn't meet any quals were deemed flame nights as a general dumping ground)

they made an event of knighting people in each order 5-4-85 Nashomi's endreign/M'deth's coronation

Actual recipients of the specific designation of a unique knighthood were

  • M'Deth of Benden : sword
  • Kalibria de Grenoille and Aramithris of meadowlake were both : flame
  • Esuom aph'Taed : serpent
  • crown : on the knighting day Nashomi, the stepping down monarch who would have received the first crown belt was already a crown knight under the lion/griffin criteria that he obtained on 10-22-83 and the post dating of belts from the Althing that defined their roles. so M'Deth upon his stepping down was the first crown knight made under the unique definitions of the belt
