KNIGHT OF COUNCIL

The title “Knight of the Council” can refer to different Masonic or
chivalric-style degrees depending on jurisdiction. Could you clarify if
you’re asking about Freemasonry (such as within the Allied Masonic Degrees,
Cryptic Council, or Knights of the East/West traditions), or if you mean a
general medieval knightly council (historical/military order)?

Here are two main contexts where it appears:

1. Masonic Usage

In some Masonic bodies, the term Knight of the Council is associated with
chivalric-style degrees found in side-orders.

It emphasizes themes of wisdom, judgment, and counsel, where the knight is
not only a warrior but also a trusted advisor.

The regalia often includes knightly insignia (sword, sash, or mantle)
combined with symbolic emblems of governance or counsel (such as scales,
scrolls, or the double triangle).

In some jurisdictions, it may be linked to the Council of Princes of
Jerusalem or a related degree.

2. Historical/Chivalric Context

In medieval orders, a Knight of the Council would not just fight but sit on
the ruling chapter or council of the order.

These knights advised the Grand Master, made decisions about campaigns,
finances, and discipline.

Their authority came from being both seasoned warriors and trusted men of
judgment.

Would you like me to prepare a detailed description of the Knight of the
Council regalia and symbolism (Masonic side), or a historical explanation
of knightly councils in medieval orders?
