The Order of The Golden Fleece
Compiled and Researched by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewski

In 1430, The Order of the Golden Fleece (Toison d'Or) was founded by Phillip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. The Golden Fleece was the emblem of the House of Habsburg. This Order was established in Saint Chapelle of the Cathedral of Dijon on January 10, 1430. Each Knight wore a scarlet mantle lined with sable, and embroidered with gold thread; on their shoulders they wore a heavy golden collar and the ram was the emblem of their confraternity.
