This edit changes the "H" list of "Legion of Honour" recipients: 1) Trials out the new format for the "Legion of Honour" medal information, i.e. a structured list, instead of a random incoherent and chaotic text list; 2) Adds inline citations to evidence each entry of information into the table; 3) Populates each entry with a standard set of information about the awarded medals.

The following is a '''list of some notable Légion d'honneur recipients''' by name. The [[Légion d'honneur]] is the highest order of France. A complete, chronological list of the members of the Legion of Honour nominated from the very first ceremony in 1803 to now does not exist. The number is estimated at one million including about 3,000 Grand Cross.<ref>Wattel, Michel et Béatrice, ''Les Grand Croix de la Légion d'honneur. De 1805 à nos jours, titulaires français et étrangers'', Archives et Culture, 2009</ref>
The French government gives out the [[Legion of Honour]] awards, to both French<ref>Légion Code, article 16.</ref> and foreign<ref>''Les étrangers qui se seront signalés par les services qu’ils ont rendus à la France ou aux causes qu’elle soutient'', Légion Code, art. 128.</ref> nationals, based on a recipient's exemplary services rendered to France, or to the causes supported by France. This award is divided into five distinct categories (in ascending order<ref name="BBC-2015">{{cite news|title=France train attack: Chris Norman awarded Legion d'honneur|website=[[BBC News]]|date=24 August 2015|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-34039225|access-date=27 July 2021|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727080410/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-34039225|archive-date=27 July 2021}}</ref>), i.e. three ranks: [[Knight]], Officer, [[Commander (order)|Commander]], and two titles: Grand Officer and [[Grand Cross]].

Revision as of 13:26, 3 August 2021

The French government gives out the Legion of Honour awards, to both French[1] and foreign[2] nationals, based on a recipient's exemplary services rendered to France, or to the causes supported by France. This award is divided into five distinct categories (in ascending order[3]), i.e. three ranks: Knight, Officer, Commander, and two titles: Grand Officer and Grand Cross. Knight is the most common and is awarded for either at least 20 years of public service or acts of military or civil bravery.[3] The rest of the categories have a quota for the number of years of service in the category below before they can be awarded.[3] Commander is the highest civilian category for a non-French citizen, and requires a minimum of five years in the Officer rank. The Grand Officer and the Grand Cross are awarded only to French citizens.[4] The awards are traditionally published and promoted on 14 July.[5]

The following is a non-exhaustive list of recipients of the Légion d'honneur awards, since the first ceremony in May 1803[6]. 2,550 individuals can be awarded the insignia every year.[5] the total number of awards was is close to 1 million[7] (estimated at 900,000 in 2021[5], including over 3,000 Grand Cross recipients[8]), with some 92,000 recipients alive today[9]. Only until 2008 was gender parity achieved amongst the yearly list of recipients, with the total number of women recipients since the award's establishement being only 59 at the end of the second French empire and only 26,000 in 2021.[5]
