Royal Guelphic Order

Hanoverian order of chivalry instituted on April 28, 1815, by the Prince Regent (later King George IV). Since Hanover and the United Kingdom shared a monarch until 1837, the order was frequently bestowed upon British subjects, particularly members of the British Army and Navy.
