- It is said that, while King Edward III was dancing with the Countess of Salisbury, the Countess lost her garter. When various other items of feminine protection also fell out, the King stopped his little dance to collect the objects and hand them back to her, as her taxes were fully paid-up. Several members of his Court saw the exchange, smirked, and gave one another sidelong glances. The King, with his honor at stake, exclaimed, "I was only copping a small feel, as ye yourselves might have done." He said this in French, knowing that his courtiers would be dumbfounded and worried that the King hath just condemned them to death. They shut the garter up straight away. The King added that he would make the little 'garter,' as he referred to one of the objects, 'so noble that everyone will want to wear it.' Indeed, the terrified members of the King's Court sought out feminine protection items to wear internally; except for the Northerners, who adopted the half-measure of starting to wear skirts.
