Talk:List of knights and ladies of the Garter

message: Emsworth. I split the Knights of the Garter up some time ago because in one file it is too damn big. But here is is again back in one big lump as 95k. We need to split it again. Mintguy (T) 22:56, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Should a source be listed for this? It doesn't seem like 'common knowledge' stuff, nor was it compiled from all those individual bios (since many are still nonexistent). I presume the list was copied from elsewhere? (I'm new here; sorry if I'm betraying some sort of ignorance.) Doops 12:59, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: It seems to me he is the #417 - 31 Dec 1624 - Christian,Duke of Brunswick Wolfenbuttel - d. 6 Jun 1626 you can find here : List of Knights and Ladies of the Garter, and here. Since there never existed a Duke of Brunswick called Christian in the 17th. Can anyone clear that point ? Regards, PurpleHz 13:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Not wanting to edit this because I don't know anything about the subject, but it strikes me initially as odd that Sir Edmund Hillary is listed without his title, and Sir John Major is listed with his. Should it not be consistent for all members? I would think to default to inclusion of the title given the nature of this being a listing of Knights of the Order of the Garter. 64.228.196.211 23:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If anything for these two men it should be the other way around. Sir Edmund Hillary was appointed a KBE in 1953, so was entitled to be called 'sir' for some 40 years before his appointment as a Knight of the Garter; John Major was not a knight prior to his appointment to the Garter.

text: In that case, the difference should be more clearly stated on the list of Ladies, and the term "Knights and Ladies Companion" should be mentioned on this list - perhaps the list should even be moved to that title? Skiasaurus (talk) 22:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

text: On this page, the Queen Mother's title as a member of the Order of the Garter is "Lady," and it lists her as having held that title from 1936-2002. This, combined with Order of the Garter saying that "throughout the 20th century, women … were not made companions" leads me to believe that the Queen Mother was never made a companion of the order; she does not belong on this list, but rather on the list of Ladies.

message: Does anyone think that an extra column for the appointing Sovereign is necessary? I think a better idea would be to put eventual Sovereigns in bold. Skiasaurus (skē’ ə sôr’ əs) 05:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Should  more notes be added to give a description of the people? I have added a list of former PM's, not comprehensive, and it would be nice to fill this in with notes like "General at the Battle of Waterloo" etc., or would it be too difficult to do this in 10 words without offending people?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.53.234 (talk) 15:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Notes

message: Hi all, I've noticed that many of these people have their coats of arms on their wikipedia pages (and those that don't I'm slowly going through and creating).  I think the arms would add a nice graphical element to this list.  I was wondering if someone could add another small column so that I could stick them in.  I've tried something like this on my sandbox page, but my table skills are awful!

Is this something that can be done automatically or quickly?    Thoughts?  Cheers.

message: hi I would like to ask if in this item you could change the portraits of the knights (all possible knights) with their portraits in the guise of knights of the order of the garter, because I see that there are many portraits without the object of the item, so if we went in the voices of all possible members where commons have their portrait in the following guise, and we insert it in this entry instead of the current portrait, the entry on this list would take on a very beautiful aesthetic, this loyalty is currently consistent with the images of the FIRST KNIGHTS, from then on it is all a coat of arms and portraits in orghese clothes. therefore I ask that the current portraits in normal clothes are all modified with that of the order of the garter--37.183.21.172 (talk) 16:35, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

message: Shortly after the founding of the Order, women were appointed "Ladies of the Garter" but did not become companions. King Henry VII ceased the practice in 1488; his mother, Margaret Beaufort, was the last Lady of the Garter before again the next Lady of the Garter was named, i.e. Queen Alexandra, by her husband King Edward VII. Only since 1987 the "Lady Companion of the Garter" exists under a status of Queen Elizabeth II. Ladies of the Garter are included in the list, but only since Queen Alexandra and those ones from before Margaret Beaufort are not on the list and are excluded. Shouldn't these also be included in the list in order to obtain a complete overview? See: Ladies of the Garter, 1358-1488 - website heraldica and Ladies of the Garter -The College of St George.

message: Reviving two earlier discussions, I wonder if we could further expand this list:
*First, should we include the medieval ladies of the Garter, as in the old article which was meant to be merged but then wasn't? I've never fully understood the significance of "associated with the order, but not companions" as to whether Margaret Beaufort and earlier can be included in the same list as Alexandra of Denmark and later.
*Second, if we include those who were members ex officio as Prince of Wales, should we also include those who were sovereigns ex officio as monarch? I think nearly all the kings after Edward III would have already been in the order prior to accession, but the queens regnant (save the present one) were not. Robin S.
