Grand Master (order)
Grand Master or ''Sovereign Grand Master'' is the typical title of the supreme head of various orders, including military orders, orders of knighthood, religious orders, as well as of modern civil fraternal orders such as the Freemasons and the Odd Fellows. Additionally, numerous modern self-styled orders attempt to imitate habits of the former bodies, albeit widely considered invalid.
As most present-day orders are essentially honorary distinctions - as some always were, e.g. the Order of the Golden Fleece - so are its dignities, which may be held by right of birth or another rank. Thus, a sovereign monarch often holds the title of Grand Master of the highest honorary orders, or by custom awards it to a Prince of the blood, regularly the heir to the throne, who in other orders may hold another high rank/title.
In some orders, such as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, the head may be styled "Sovereign", e.g. ''Sovereign Grand Master''.
