The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of chivalry founded by Edward III of England in 1348.
It is the most senior order of knighthood in the British honours system. The only decorations which outrank it in precedence are the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.
The Order of the Garter is dedicated to the image and arms of Saint George, England's patron saint.
