The Most Royal Order - House of Bradley

The Most Royal Order of the House of Bradley is an Irish American order of chivalry founded by H.R.H. Prince Carl on 15th March 2024. 

Recipients of the Order are usually senior house officers or senior civil servants, and the sovereign awards it on the advice of His Highness’ Royal Court. The name derives from an elaborate medieval history of the Royal House and its legacy. While not all knights will be awarded this most honorable knighthood, knights so created are known as "knights of the Royal House of Bradley". 

Carl 1st constituted the Knights of the Most Royal House of Bradley as a Royal order. The order is of a chivalric royal appointment and is the highest of the House Orders. The presiding official for the Order will be the Prince(ss) of Baile Uí Bhrolcháin when the sovereign is not available. 

He did not revive the order, which did not previously exist, in the sense of a body of knights governed by a set of statutes and whose numbers were replenished when vacancies occurred. The authorized total number of Knights or Dames is (150) One Hundred and Fifty. Not counting the sovereign and the Great Master or the Assistant Great Master of the Order. By way of the House Chamberlain from referrals by the House Court, the Chamberlain will provide the sovereign of the house a list for acceptance into the order. The sovereign will either approve or decline the names on the list and send them back to the Chamberlain for his final vote with the Royal Court, and the individuals that receive approval by an 80% vote by the Court will be presented with the knighthood and the level that is recommended by the Sovereign or the Great Master. It is encouraged to send achievements or actions with the name of those to be considered for this knighthood. No additional knighthoods will be granted past the tally number set by this proclamation of the establishment.

 

The Order donates all proceeds to Charity through the Prince Bradley Foundation.

The orders Regalia are sold to help fund the Prince Bradley Foundation as well as Charity Dinners, where the costs per plate pay for the food served and all proceeds go to help support the Foundation in its charity support to help fight medical costs, feed those in need and help educate the children, as well as to help with cancer in children.
