The Papal Order of the Golden Spur, or Order of the Golden
Militia, dates back to the 14th century, with the first title given
in 1357 at Prague. Because it's a centuries old tradition, it is
impossible to give an accurate number of people who have received
the title but it isn't conferred upon people lightly. Since 1905
the Order's membership has been restricted to only one hundred
knights throughout the world. At this time there is only one living
knight - HRH Jean, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
