| Abstract: | Orders of chivalry are significant national institutions. The Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George was founded in 1818, when Thomas Maitland was the Governor of Malta. The Order of Saint John was created for Maltese and Ionian citizens who were "nobly born or eminently distinguished for their merit, virtue and loyalty". British subjects holding office or actively engaged in naval service in the Mediterranean were also eligible to be admitted. |
