Knighthood
An Illustrated Dictionary of Words Used In Art and Archealogy. · 1883 · p. 22
The principal English orders are of the Garter, established 1343, and the Bath shortly afterwards; of St. Patrick for Ireland, established in 1783; and the Order of the Thistle, at least as ancient as Robert II. of Scotland. There is a French order of the Thistle, founded in 1463; but the most ancient French order is the Gennet, in 706. In France are also the orders of St. Michel and of St. Louis; but these French orders are now all superseded by the Legion of Honour.
