Order of the Able Heart

The Buckland Cross Baronial Order of the Able Heart is awarded to those individuals who offer exceptional service to the Barony. This order was created in 2022.

This order name follows the attested pattern of orders named for virtues. An able heart echoes the virtue of honor, as the phrase can mean ‘honorable heart’ in our period. In addition, Wycliffe’s 15th century English translation of the Bible, in I Kings 3:9, shows the Latin phrase cor docile ‘docile heart’, as able herte, which is a reflection of the virtue of humility. In addition, The English Tournament Imprese by Alan Young lists six mottoes containing some description of a heart, including loyal, bound, and broken. Therefore, this name may also be considered as an order name based on the motto of the order.
