- Source: Order of Saint John in Sweden
The Order of Saint John in Sweden (Swedish: (S:t) Johanniterorden i Sverige [ˈsǎŋkt ʝʊhanˈîːterˌoːɖɛn ˈiː ˈsvæ̌rʝɛ]) is a Protestant chivalric order. It is a member of the Alliance of the Orders of Saint John of Jerusalem.
It was founded in 1920 in Stockholm, Sweden, as an affiliate of the German Bailiwick of Brandenburg. In November 1946, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Gustaf V as the Johanniterorden i Sverige. King Carl XVI Gustaf is the current High Patron, and Queen Silvia is the First Honorary Member of the Order.
Medals, honors, and other ceremonial decorations from the Order are officially open to all citizens; however, they are currently only awarded to members of the House of Nobility, making it a de facto noble order.
