Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav : ウィキペディア英語版
Order of St. Olav

The Royal Norwegian Order of Saint Olav ((ノルウェー語:Den Kongelige Norske Sankt Olavs Orden); or ''Sanct Olafs Orden'', the old Norwegian name) is a Norwegian order of chivalry that was instituted by King Oscar I of Norway and Sweden on August 21, 1847, as a distinctly Norwegian order. It is named after King Olav II, known to posterity as St. Olav. Nobility was abolished in Norway in 1821. Just before the union with Sweden was dissolved in 1905, the Order of the Norwegian Lion was instituted in 1904 by King Oscar II, but it was not awarded by his successor Haakon VII. The Order of St. Olav thus became the kingdom's only order of chivalry for the next 80 years. The Grand Master of the order is the reigning monarch of Norway. It is awarded to individuals as a reward for remarkable accomplishments on behalf of the country and humanity. Since 1985, the order has only been conferred upon Norwegian citizens, though foreign heads of state and Royalty are awarded the order as a matter of courtesy.
The King awards the order upon the recommendation of a six-member commission, consisting of a chancellor, vice chancellor, the Lord Chamberlain (acting as treasurer), and three other representatives. The Lord Chamberlain nominates the members of the commission, and the monarch approves them. Nominations for the award are directed at the commission through the county governor.
==Classes==
The order is divided into five classes and may be awarded for either civilian or military contributions, in descending order of distinction. The collar is awarded as a separate distinction of the Grand Cross to those recipients deemed exceptionally worthy.
* Grand Cross of St. Olav (''Storkors'') awarded to heads of state as a courtesy and in rare cases to individuals for merit; wears the badge on a collar (chain), plus the star on the left chest. If the collar is not worn the badge may be worn on a sash on the right shoulder;
* Commander with Star (''Kommandør med stjerne'') wears the badge on a necklet, plus the star on the left chest;
* Commander (''Kommandør'') wears the badge on a necklet;
* Knight, First Class (''Ridder av 1. klasse'') wears the badge on a ribbon on the left chest;
* Knight (''Ridder'') wears the badge on a ribbon on the left chest.
The insignia are expected to be returned either upon the receiver's advancement to a higher level of the order or upon his or her death. Since it was instituted, the order has been awarded approximately 19,500 times. The insignia are produced in Norway by craftsmen.
The Norwegian king also awards the St. Olav's Medal (''St. Olavsmedaljen'') in gold and silver for "activities for the benefit of society," but these do not confer upon the recipient membership in an order.
