From Grand Knight Commander Steve Wilson (on Knighthood): "Two examples of this remain in our Esoteric traditions. Those who follow an Arthurian path will recognise the three grades of Squire, Knight and Lord. A Knight was responsible for choosing and training a Squire, but only the Knight’s Lord could raise the Squire to Knighthood, and only the King could make a Knight into a Lord ... The right of Lords to make Knights still exists, although they are only Knights of that Lord’s court, not Knights of the Realm. The last time I heard of such a right being exercised was when Baron Strathloch, one of the three founders of the Fellowship of Isis, instituted the Noble Order of Tara, in which I am myself a Knight."
Note: Since Lawrence's passing in 1994, his sister, FOI Co-Founder Olivia Robertson is acting Chancellor of the Noble Order of Tara. She has announced there will be no chancellor after her.
