Evil be to him who evil thinks is whose quote

This is the motto of The Order Of The Garter: "Honi soit qui mal y pense". The order was founded by Edward III, probably in 1348. Legend has it that that the King was dancing at court with the Countess of Salisbury when her garter fell from her leg. As the other courtiers sniggered, the King was said to have picked up her garter and proclaimed "Honi soit qui mal y pense" - Evil be to him who evil thinks.
