Shame and Honor

A Vulgar History of the Order of the Garter

Stephanie Trigg

From the ‘mythical moment of ritual disruption’ in the 1340s when Edward III retrieved the fallen garter of his dancing partner, addressed those laughing at the lady’s distress with the enigmatic words ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’ and promised to found an Order of the garter, to the present day annual procession of the Garter Companions in full regalia, Professor Trigg traces the cultural history of this medieval institution and its survival into contemporary culture.
