The title was established in 1992, and has been awarded more than 970 times since then, including more than 440 times posthumously.

The Order of the Cross of Liberty was founded on March 4, 1918, at the initiative of General C. G. E. Mannerheim. The Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela was commissioned to design the Order's insignia with the swastika.

It is a very high honour, second only after the Legion d'Honneur (Legion of Honour). Very few people, military units and communes were ever awarded it; and only for their deeds during World War II. A different order, the Medaille de la Resistance ("Resistance Medal") was created and awarded for lesser but still distinguished deeds by members of the Resistance.

The Military Order of the Tower and of the Sword, of Valour, Loyalty and Merit (Portuguese: Ordem Militar da Torre e Espada do Valor, Lealdade e Merito) is a Portuguese order of knighthood and the pinnacle of the Portuguese honours system. It was created by King Afonso V in 1459. The order may be bestowed on people or on Portuguese municipalities.

The orders of the White Rose of Finland and the Lion of Finland have a joint board.
