	Order of the Garter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Order of the Garter, which pertains to England, is most senior in both age and precedence; its equivalent in Scotland is The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.
		Knights of the Garter could also be degraded by the Sovereign, who normally took such an action in response to serious crimes such as treason.
		Garter King of Arms is the head of the College of Arms (England's heraldic authority) and thus the "principal" herald for all England (along with Wales and Northern Ireland).

		The Order of the Garter is the most senior and the oldest British Order of Chivalry and was founded by Edward III in 1348.

	DragonBear History: All That: The Order of the Garter
		The Order of the Garter was a much longer lasting legacy than any of Edward's triumphs in war: by the time of his death, English possessions in France amounted to no more than little bits of coastline around Calais and Bourdeaux.
		The Orders of the Temple, of the Hospital, and of the Teutonic Knights quickly became major international organizations, all the more prestigious among the aristocracy than the more traditional orders because their major activity was war, the profession of the upper classes.
		Our orders of merit, peerage, etc., are clearly based on orders of chivalry (as they changed over the intervening centuries), but where originally orders like the Garter represented the elect of the whole class of knights, knights in the SCA make up just one of all the orders.

	Berkshire History: The Order of the Garter
		The earliest orders were fraternities of like-minded men, drawn from a particular social class and bound together in a common purpose.
		A record of the Order, compiled in Henry VIII's reign, relates that Richard I, during his crusade, gave garters to certain knights as tokens of honour, and it was supposed that Edward III followed this example.
		While Edward III may outwardly have professed the Order of the Garter to be a revival of the Round Table, it is probable that privately its formation was a move to gain support for his dubious claim to the French throne.
