Plate 35: 'Saksen-Weissenfeld. Orde van de edele passie of van Zuerfurt. Saksen-Coburg-Saalfeld. Orde van St. Joachim. Saksen-Weimar-Eisenach. Orde van de Waakzaamheid of van den witten Valk.' (Saxe-Weissenfels. Order of the Noble Passion - Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Order of st. Joachim - Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Order of the White Falcon). The Order of Saint Joachim is considered by some historians a Confraternal Order of Chivalry, although other historians consider it a 'self-styled' Order of Chivalry. Its most famous member was Admiral Horatio Nelson. Order of the White Falcon (Hausorden vom Wei�en Falken) is a grand-ducal order of Weimar, founded by Duke Ernest Augustus in 1732, and renewed in 1815 by Charles Augustus.
