Summary[edit]
| Description | The Great George and Collar of the Garter — The Order of the Garter was formed by Edward III, perhaps in imitation of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table. The motto of the Order of the Garter is "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Shamed be he who thinks evil of it). St. George is looked upon as the patron of the order, for he typifies the higher nature of man overcoming the dragon of his own lower nature. While St. George is supposed to have lived during the third century, it is probable that he was a mythological personage borrowed from pagan mythology [as in Scandinavia where he is commonly identified with Sigurd the Dragonslayer [1] . |
