Knight of the Golden Spur (Hungary)

Knights of the Golden Spur (Hungarian: Aranysarkantyús lovag; Latin: Eques auratus, or Eques aureatus) were persons knighted during the ceremony of Hungarian kings' coronations. It was not a regular knightly order, its membership did not result in any special privileges or duties. The knightly title was not hereditary, it was given only for a personal use. However, the knights were authorized, to wear real golden spurs, attached to their boots at the ceremony, and they also wore a small golden spur on their hats.
