Talk:Order of Saint Michael

[Untitled]

Isn't there more to say about the way the order was disbanded? Larix 16:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

It was given especially to artists towards the end of the Ancien Régime, giving rise to a nice mot of the comte de Forbin when he received it during the Restauration. But who would have recognized the Order of Saint-Michel under the present title? --Wetman 00:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

The last member died in 1850, but new knighthoods have been conferred since?

Under the heading "History", the final sentence of the fourth paragraph makes this rather confusing claim: "The Order's last member died in 1850, although ten nominations of knights were conferred in 1929, 1930, and in the 1970s and 1980s." No source is cited for the second-half of the sentence. How is it possible for nominations to be "conferred" (a strange choice of words, since nominations and conferrals of knighthoods are typically two distinct things) if there were no longer any living members? And did the editor who added this mean that ten new knighthoods were conferred in each of the years mentioned, or in total? Bricology (talk) 12:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the cited book (Gout, 1910) simply doesn't specify that the last recipients died in 1850, and I couldn't find anything to support the second part of the sentence, so I removed the whole sentence. I also can't find anything to support that no new recipients were named after 1816, so I tagged that sentence with citation needed. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 18:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
