The oldest and highest order of chivalry in the United Kingdom, which belongs to the Sovereign in person, would originate from an incident at a court ball: to take away the embarrassment a countess who had lost a garter, the king bent down to pick it up , handing it to him and offered to help her reindossarla; the buzz of pointed comments that spread among the courtiers uttered the phrase 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' (be dishonored those who evil thinks), in French, the court language of the time. The phrase has become the motto of the order. True Meat extract Liebig. Chromos Liebig figurine of the series "Orders of Chivalry" n. 1, Italy, in 1897.
