The Order of Saint Joseph was instituted on 9 March 1807 by Ferdinand III as Grand Duke of Würzburg. It was transformed into a Tuscan Roman Catholic order of knighthood in 1817 during his reign as Grand Duke of Tuscany.
The constitution of the Order was promulgated in March 1817, with amendments in August 1817. The order was divided into civil and military categories but these are now defunct. It has been given to reward services towards Tuscan culture and civilisation and to the Grand Ducal House as a whole.
The Order is divided into three levels:
Knights Grand Cross, numbering thirty
Commander, numbering sixty
Knights, numbering one hundred and fifty
These numbers excluded Sovereigns, Heads of State, and Princes of the Grand Ducal House and other Royal Houses, Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church and Tuscan Metropolitan Archbishops. All had to be Catholics. The number of women members cannot exceed fifty, excluding Princesses of the Grand Ducal and other Royal Houses, wives of Heads of State and Dames of the Order of Saint Stephen.
It is permitted for non-nobles to be admitted into the Order of the level of Grand Cross in cases of exceptional merit.
