Precedence

The Order is below the Dragon's Heart and equal to the Evergreen, White Lance, Greenwood Company and Bronze Ring in precedence and above a bare Grant of Arms.

Rights and Privileges

The Order conveys a Grant of Arms. Those holders of the Order who have not been elevated to the Chivalry may also be styled and announced as Captains of the Red Company.


The Order includes the privileges of the Red Company, Companions of the Gold Mace will assemble when the Red Company is called into court and can wear a red cape or cloak.

History

This award was created by Finn III and Tamara.

Alaric le Fevre was the premiere of this Order made on April 8, 2000.

Originally, members of the order were styled as Lieutenants of the Red Company and recipients could only be "promoted" to Lieutenant from within the Order of the Red Company. However, additional research by the College of Heralds decided that the title and internal promotion were improper. Recipients are called Captains of the Red Company and may receive the award independently of the Order of the Red Company (although few have skipped membership in the Red Company).
