A definitive look at the early history of St George's Chapel, one
of the most important medieval buildings in England. Developed and
improved by Edward III, the Chapel became the spiritual home of his
newly-instigated Order of theGarter and, in the process, a new
Camelot for the English monarchy. St George's Chapel, Windsor, is
one of the most famous ecclesiastical foundations in Britain.
Established in 1348, its origins are closely bound up with those of
the Order of the Garter, which was founded by Edward III at the
sametime. The collection of essays in this volume sets Windsor in
its context, at the forefront of the political and cultural
developments of mid-fourteenth-century England. They examine the
early history of the Chapel, its tieswith Edward III's chivalric
ambitions, the community of canons who served it, and its place in
the institutional development of the English Church. Major themes
are the role of the Chapel in the early history of the Order and
itsinfluence on other collegiate foundations of the late middle
ages; and much attention is devoted to the mighty building campaign
at the Castle started by Edward III which made Windsor the grandest
royal residence of its day.
