A High King rules their Knight House, with a number of [[Baron]]s swearing fealty to them. The highest of these Barons collectively form a body known as the High King's [[Exalted Court]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
A High Monarch's Knight is traditionally marked with a band on its carapace armour{{Fn|1c}}{{Fn|1h}}, but this is not universal - a number of Houses (including [[House Griffith]]) do not practice this.{{Fn|1f}}
