- Long/new enough. Amply sourced, and the hook is mentioned and verified in the article. I have only two minor hold-ups on this hook: 1. "President" should not be capitalized, it should be "president", and 2. the hook should probably say "...was made a High Officer..." since that is how the source names him.

- Thanks, I've amended the hook as suggested. Our article on the Order of Prince Henry (Ordem do Infante Dom Henrique) gives the levels, but doesn't mention 'High Officer', only 'Grand Officer'. I have tried to find sources to clarify this, but without success. Carcharoth (talk) 00:00, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
