An order of chivalry founded in 1430 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, a prince of the House of France.
It became one of the most prestigious orders of Europe. The sovereignty eventually passed to the Habsburg King of Spain,
who also claimed the title "Duke of Burgundy". When the Spanish Habsburgs were extinguished, the order split
into a Spanish branch, headed by the Bourbon King of Spain, and an Austrian branch, headed by the Habsburg Emperor.
In either case the sovereign, as "Duke of Burgundy", writes the letter of appointment in French.
