Upon the completion of the Quest, the Crusader receives a Noble to serve as part of the paging ceremony. Upon entering the service of the Noble, the page will wear a tabard of the Noble's livery colors. Upon the center of the tabard is worn the Noble's badge. The page may wear a fancy tunic or gown under the tabard, but must always wear the tabard over it. The page is not entitled to wear any weapons or armor, unless participating in a tournament. They may wear a brown or black belt.
Upon the completion of the Pages Handbook, the page is made a squire at a household meeting. At this time, a page can enter the service of a different Noble. The squire is required to wear the tabard of the Noble. The squire is allowed to wear a sword or dagger with his tunic. He is also entitled to wear as a regular course armor items such as a mail coif or mail bishop's mantle, vambraces (forarm protection), or gauntlets. The squire wears a brown or black belt.
(knights, lords and ladies)
The Noble is entitled to wear his own coat of arms. This is a very important step in the Royal Order of Chivalry. The granting of Nobility takes place at a State Court and is officiated by the Head of the State. It is a ceremony that the squire publicly wears his surcoat for the first time. As part of the ceremony, they are granted the right to a red belt. Knights are further granted the right to wear gold or gilt spurs.
