    Under the British honours system, can a deceased person be knighted?

    In the 1960s and 70s British honours degrees were first, upper second, lower second and third, with a pass for either slightly shorter degrees or people who failed a subject in the final year. I have now discovered London University issued honours only for firsts and seconds (Oxford did not split their seconds like others used to in the past), and had no third but a pass for all below. Was this something unique to them and either way when did British universities start to share the same systems for grading honours degrees?

    It was considered a puzzle by wry females of a certain European country during the Reformation era, to ensure fidelity, or at least hamper their partners into thinking quick.
