- thathonkey 12y agoWell, at least there's that.
- natch 12y agoIs it possible to knight someone posthumously? Has this happened?
- crazypyro 12y agoNo. No. In fact, in past times ( of kings and queens), one man was killed in a battle and his brother was given a much higher title because you cannot give the honorable title to a deceased individual.
- codeoclock 12y agoNot only can you not knight deceased people, but when knights die they lose their title. #QuiteInteresting. #whenwillhnsupporthashtags.
