    In this video, the first of a series on the Order of the Garter, England's oldest and most prestigious order of chilvary, I explore the foundation of the order by King Edward III. I look at the king's motivation, the context of the foundation and its establishment within Windsor Castle.

    I've seen a lot of content creators discuss the subject of the Order of the Garter. But none have explained it and gone into the depth of the legend as well as you. Thank you!

      Yes, you are correct, he is sageant in whatever _sujet_ he is covering for us. This is why I listen to, and hence learn from him. If I see a new upload from him on my wall, I'm straight in.

    What an insightful video! As an American I have seen the members of the Order of the Garter on both the US and British news but didn’t know the entire story. Ditto for the legend of St. George. What I’ve learned in this video will greatly help my understanding of English history. I could truly watch your videos all day long. You’ve made the Medieval period of history come alive and have inspired me to read everything that I can find about this fascinating period of history. Seasons greetings to you and your family from the US!

    The Order of the Garter was worn by the Royal Canadian Engineers, of which I was a member. No one told us what it meant so I started asking questions. No one had an answer. We didn’t have google so went to a library. There I had to research what I thought was a belt with foreign words on it. I don’t remember where I found the information but it was probably an encyclopedia. That’s when I found out about The Order of the Garter and the inscription said “Honi Soit Qui Mali Pence”. It took some more digging to find out it wasn’t Latin but Norman French. So that all matches up your own research except the translation I got was “Shamed be who thinks evil of it.” I enjoyed the historical content of your video and your translation is most likely the right one. Thanks for posting it.

    4:44 The father of Philippe VI, Charles de France, comte de Valois was actually count of Valois. The dukedom of Valois was first created for the younger brother of Charles VI, Louis (the great-grandson of Philippe VI), who is better remembered as the duke of Orléans.

    I have always been fascinated by the OG. King Edward III is my 19th great grandfather. I would love to see the Garter Hall and St George’s Chapel, many of my ancestors were members of the OG, quite a few in the original instillation. I wonder if any of the original Garter Plates still exist? Thank you.

    Ο Γιώργος - George, my father's name, and that most Greekest of names. My Φιλόλογος - Greek language master once told me that Giórgos comes from two compounds: Η Γη - the Earth and ώργος - from to till. So Earth tiller, or *Peasant.* 😁Interestingly yrþling in Old English is not the earthling we think of in Modern English. This meant the same thing then as old George does in Greek as well, more or less: person of the earth - earth plougher.🌍👨🏽‍🌾

    you said that the story might originate with the countess of salisbury who lost a garter, the you go on to say this is unlikely because at the time only women wore garters. So, was the countess a man?
