So recently did the ancestry dive and found out some cool things about my great great grandfather. He lived in Louisiana/honduras and was knighted by the king of Norway and given the order of st olaf. I remember my great aunt telling me she remembers her relatives sending a sword back to Norway after he passed in 1961. Was curious to know if there is a way to see his story/ why he received this ? I’ve tried to find something online but can’t come across anything. There’s a list that shows heads of states of different country’s who received it but not others, This may not be the best place to ask, but I don’t know where else to turn. Any info is greatly appreciated ! Thanks for taking the time to read my post !

Forgot to mention that any family that would have known the story of how he got this has passed on.
The list, from 1947 to today: https://www.kongehuset.no/tildelinger.html?tid=28028&sek=27995
This is the list off all recipients from 1947, don’t find any Culotta there
