This Page will identify various issues and will provide an overview of the
Project.
Issues Identified: The reconciliations are listed below.
Originally the project of identifying the Knights of the Garter in
connection with the ancestral requirements for the Society of
Descendants of Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Garter
involved identifications from the various sources. The publications
in 1984 and 1999 of outstanding books on the Order including a list which
is substantially similar to the Wiki list has been very helpful in
the verification process.
Process of Genealogical Checking - the Number of Knights refers
to the 1999 listing with the adjustments listed below.
The Subtotal above of 987 is the
number on the 1999 Listing with the following notes. There is
King Henry III, King of Castile (nom. c. 1402) with a duplicate
number. The following 3 Royal Knights who have been identified as
Companions but for whom we did not find numbers on the 1999 List are:
King Edward III
King Edward IV
The Pretender
Note also: The Wiki list included Ladies
of the Garter who were not included in the 1999 list until the
1987 Statute of the Order which allowed Lady Knights:
The Lady Knights included as Companions are:
Lavinia Duchess of Norfolk 1990
Baroness Thatcher 1995
HRH Princess Alexandra 2003
Baroness Soames 2005
The 1999 listing included 9 Ladies of the Garter:
When originally entering the list of
Knights of the Garter I found that there were indications that the
following we members but who were not subsequently in the 1999 list.
Further checking has indicated that they probably were not members.
