Orders of chivalry had their origins in the religious orders of the Medieval Church, and in particular those created in the Holy Land during the crusades.
Amongst these were the English Order of the Garter (1348), the Danish Order of the Elephant (1462) and the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece (1430), which later split into two separate institutions, one Austrian and the other Spanish.
The second order of chivalry to be formally created in Britain was a Scottish equivalent of the Garter, the Order of the Thistle, created by James VII and II in 1687.
