List_of_Grand_Cordons_of_the_Order_of_Leopold
The grand cordon of the Order of Leopold is the highest and oldest rank of chivalry and a formal diplomatic gift of the Kingdom of Belgium. This honour is bestowed very rarely in name of the grand-master, the king of the Belgians. This list is chronological by official authorisation of the Royal Decree.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
