In the real world, there are several grades of knights; iirc, only the highest (and maybe second highest) class, called knights commanders, are styled "Sir." These are your "real" knights you might say.
In Geass, if we try to mimic the real world standards, the knight requirement in order to become a Knightmare pilot then may be those lesser grades who are not addressed as Sir.
Moreover, in the real world, there are Orders of Knights which rank ahead of all other Knights and even some lesser peers (again, iirc) such as the Order of the Garter and St. Patrick (defunct). These are limited in membership, from some 2 dozen to 100 members. This is rather like your Knights of Round in Code Geass.
All this is just research done for my fic. I just wanted to know for certain what Cornelia's rank was. This Nonette character mentioned in R2 has rather thrown me off since official material says that Cornelia fears her.
