Accolade
The game also links it as Accolades, Acclaimed, Accolade's.
From the game's encyclopedia
Accolades are honors given to Knights by their Liege.
The Knight who holds an Accolade becomes an Acclaimed Knight.
As the Acclaimed Knight gains Glory, their Squires Aptitude increases (improving Accolade Succession) and Accolade Ranks may be gained. These allow more Accolade Attributes to be unlocked, offering stronger bonuses.
When an Acclaimed Knight dies, Accolade Succession takes place and the knight is immediately replaced with a successor whose skills are modified by Squires Aptitude.
Innovations and higher Tiers allow Rulers to have more Accolades simultaneously.
