OBJECT / HISTORY

Historical basis

Founded in 1430 by Philip the Good of Burgundy, the Order of the Golden Fleece was a Catholic order of chivalry associated with royal prestige and loyalty. Henry VIII was admitted in 1505, while still a prince. Yet in 1534, he broke with Rome and declared himself head of the Church of England.

His place in the order is an unexpected chapter of Tudor history. My collar draws on that connection, rather than claiming to reproduce one worn by Henry.
