Re his KB, does WikiTree enforce a postnominal style guide differentiation between KB and K.B. for knight banneret? This profile uses KB in the name database but K.B. in the prose bio; and I've seen K.B. used in the name database (suffix) for knight banneret, not Knight of the Bath, on other profiles.

Just curious what the WikiTree policy is; and, I suppose, is it the same as the actual styling conventions(s) in England, then or know?

Cheers,
