The Order of the Porcupine (French: ''Ordre du Porc-Épic'') was established by Louis de France, Duke of Orléans, in 1394, at the occasion of his elder son Charles of Orléans' baptism. == Award and history == He declared himself Grand Master of the Order and conferred it on the lords of his court, with the aim of linking their faithfulness to his person. The knights' number was set to twenty-five, Sovereign Chief included. Louis I, Duke of Orléans probably chose the porcupine as symbol to show to the Duke of Burgundy John the Fearless that he would revenge of his braving him, as the porcupine points his quills to its enemies. Nevertheless, after Philip the Good helped to free Charles, Duke of Orléans, they granted each other the Order of the Porcupine and the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1430.〔 King Louis XII eventually terminated the Order, preferring the French Order of Saint Michael, but he did grant the Order to both Michel Gaillard father and son.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Order of the Porcupine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
