Order of Infante D. Henrique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Order of Infante D. Henrique (Portuguese: Ordem do Infante D. Henrique) is a Portuguese honorific order that distinguishes relevant services for Portugal, in the country or in foreign ones, in the expansion of the Portuguese culture, its history and its values. The order was created in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Infante D. Henrique, commonly known in English as Henry the Navigator.

The order includes five classes; in decreasing order of seniority, these are:

  • Grand Collar (Grande Colar - GColIH)
  • Grand Cross (Grã-Cruz - GCIH)
  • Grand Officer (Grande-Oficial - GOIH)
  • Commander (Comendador - ComIH)
  • Officer (Oficial - OIH)
  • Knight / Dame (Cavaleiro / Dama - CavIH / DamIH)

There are also two related medals: Silver Medal (Medalha de Prata - MedPIH) and Gold Medal (Medalha de Ouro - MedOIH). Like in the other Portuguese orders, the title of Honorary Member (Membro Honorário - MHIH) can be awarded upon institutions and locals.
