This year’s Investiture of Vitéz ceremony was held on Saturday, August 31, in the Royal Castle of Gödöllő. The Order is recognized by the International Commission for Orders of Chivalry (ICOC) and leaded by Captain General Vitéz Archduke József Károly of Habsburg-Lorraine, Royal Prince of Hungary, who is the head of the palatinal – Hungarian branch – of the Habsburg family. Before the festive ceremony, we asked József Károly to make a statement regarding the role of the Order of Vitéz today.
About the event Magyar Nemzet published an excellent article by historian Staff Captain Vitéz Attila Bánó.
