[edit] Holders

Many other wiki orders pages have the highest grades present holders listed. Now I don't know how many people have say the Grand Cross with Collar of St. Olav to know if this is practical here Alci12 17:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The list is now done. I suspect there might be someone who has been left out and some information is uncertain. Such as the year Hassan of Jordan was appointed. So I have tagged it with the incomplete list template. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Inge (talk • contribs) 23:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

I have now updated the list with all known holders of Grand Cross, being either Heads of States or Royals. However, quite a few non-Norwegians received the order during state visits before 1985, ministers, senior officers and courtiers. These are not listed, and I suppose a complete list is difficult to find. Takvaal (talk) 14:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Courtesy

Could someone please explain what this means? Is it getting at that foreign heads of state are merely honourary members of the Order? --Daniel C. Boyer 16:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
