The Protector's Champion was a high-ranking Steadholder, for example a holder of the Star of Grayson, who served as the symbolic guard of the Protector, carrying the Grayson Sword of State.

Any steadholder accused of wrong-doing had the right to trial by combat rather than being judged by the Protector. Victory against the Protector’s Champion was the equivalent of an innocent verdict and dismissal of all charges.

From 1905 PD onwards, Honor Harrington was the Champion. In this position, she duelled – and killed – William Fitzclarence, Steadholder Burdette, when he stood accused of treason. (HH5)
