Ceremonial/honorary knighthoods

Aroud 1560, ceremonial knighthoods started to be given. That means you could become a knight without picking up a sword.

Hi,

Is "ceremonial" in the above equal to "honorary?" Thanks.

Hi, honorary - given as an honour, without the person meeting the real requirements. ceremonial - used in ritual or ceremnoy In the context of 1560, say 'honorary'. In today's context, just say 'a knighthood', as the real requirements have changed over time.
