Jehova Order
King Charles IX of Sweden instituted the Royal Order of Jehova in 1606. The collar of this order of knighthood was worn by the king alone. There is a report that three Swedish princes[1] wore a collar at the coronation of Charles IX in the 15th. of March 1606.[2]
The king's motto was Jehovah solatium meum or in Swedish Gud är min tröst.
