 == Knights in the SCA ==
 The [[SCA]] has a [[polling order]] of [[peerage]] that is the Order of Chivalry. Only members of this [[order]] are considered knights. SCA knights can be male or female but must swear [[fealty]] to the [[Crown]]. If a member is invited to become a member of the order but won't swear fealty, then they are considered a [[Master at Arms|Master or Mistress at Arms]] not a knight.
 A [[white belt]] is [[laws|officially]] reserved for use by knights but most will also wear a [[fealty chain]].  The wearing of [[spurs]] by knights varies a lot from kingdom to kingdom (see [[IKA]]), and in some kingdoms squires also traditionally wear spurs.  And, of course, those engaged in [[Equestrian]] activities wear  spurs as tools rather than [[regalia]].
