Based on a brief overview of both historical and contemporary practice abroad and home, the author demonstrates that the warrants have always been signed in own hand of the person awarding the honours and stamped by their official stamp, since that is the only way how they became valid and efficient for legal actions. The only known exception is represented by the warrants of appointment of some of the honours of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic, which are not signed or stamped and the name of the person awarding the honours is also missing, being replaced by their function with the “v.r.” abbreviation (“vlastnou rukou” - “manu propria”, “m.p.” - “in one’s own hand”). The author points out to the formal mistakes of these warrants, questioning the arguments why the warrants cannot be signed and at the same time submitting a proposal how to solve this issue.

In 1608, the Duke of Mantua, Vincenzo I. Gonzaga established the dynastic honours, the Order of the Redeemer. Until termination of the honours in 1708, the insignia were worn by more than hundred Italian, mainly Mantuan and Monferrat noblemen. The only exception among them was the Hungarian nobleman who served as a Ban of Croatia, Count Thomas Erdödy. The study takes a closer look at the background of the honours, clarifying its nature and describing the insignia also pictured on the two heraldic monuments preserved in Mantua, directly related to the personality of Thomas Erdödy. It also explains the circumstances under which the Hungarian nobleman was granted the Order insignia, putting right the incorrect opinions on the burial of his body along with the honours.

In the introduction of the article, the author takes a closer look at the genesis of the military meritorious orders in Europe, including the Habsburg Military Order of Maria Theresa, which originated in 1757 and existed until 1931. The introduction also states that the Order originated during the difficult period of the Seven Years’ War for the Habsburg heritage and had an eminently democratic nature – its insignia were intended for officers of all army units. The merits of the officer were the only decisive moment for awarding the order. During the Seven Years’ War (1757 – 1763), total of 9 ceremonies of accordance of the order insignia took place, according 20 Grand Crosses and 164 Knight’s Crosses. In 1765, after extending the number of classes of the order, one Grand Cross and 9 newly established Commander Crosses were accorded. During the whole order existence, 61 Grand Crosses, 141 Commander Crosses and 1,039 Knight’s Crosses were accorded. The author of the contribution translated the Charter of this order, Statuten des Löblichen Militarischen Maria Theresia Ordens to Slovak, which is published in full. In the annex, the Charter can be compared to the charters of the orders established prior to this order’s origin, in particular the Charter of the French Order of Saint Louis from 1693, Saxon Order of Saint Henry from 1736 and Swedish Order of the Sword from 1748.From the historically younger military meritorious orders, the charter of the Hessen Order Pour la Vertu Militaire from 1769 is published. As the author has stated, only the comparison of the charters of the individual orders can highlight the quality and timelessness of the charter, which also implies a high level of the Habsburg Order.
