A French order of knighthood, instituted by Louis XI. in 1469, in honour of St. Michael, the supposed ancient protector of France. The motto of this order was " immensi tremor ocean i." It was at first and for some time after its institution in high repute; but under Catherine of Medicis, who lavished it indis738 MICROMETER. criminately, it came to be held of no account, from which state it never recovered.
