Order of the Garter

Ordre de chevalerie fondé en 1348 par le roi Édouard III dont la devise ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’ figure sur les armoiries royales. Édouard III aurait prononcé ces paroles au cours d'une fête, après avoir ramassé la jarretière que la comtesse de Salisbury avait perdue en dansant, pour la nouer autour de son propre genou. C'est la plus haute distinction au Royaume-Uni.
