United Kingdom.Year institutions: 1783Motto: “Quis separabit?”The MostIllustrious Order of Saint Patrick is a dormant British order of chivalryassociated with Ireland. The Order was created in 1783 by George III at therequest of the then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, The 3rd Earl Temple (createdThe 1st Marquess of Buckingham in 1784). The regular creat...ion of knights ofSaint Patrick lasted until 1922, when most of Ireland gained a form ofindependence as the Irish Free State, a dominion within what was then known asthe British Commonwealth of Nations. While the Order technically still exists, no knight of St Patrick has been created since 1936, and the last survivingknight, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, died in 1974. The Queen, however, remains the Sovereign of the Order, and one officer, the Ulster King of Arms(now combined with Norroy King of Arms), also survives. St Patrick is patron ofthe order; its motto is Quis separabit?, Latin for "Who will separate[us]?": an allusion to the Vulgate translation of Romans 8:35, "Whoshall separate us from the love of Christ?".MostBritish orders of chivalry cover the entire kingdom, but the three most exaltedones each pertain to one constituent country only. The Order of St Patrick, which pertains to Ireland, is the most junior of these three in precedence andage. Its equivalent in England, The Most Noble Order of the Garter, is theoldest order of chivalry in the United Kingdom, dating to the middle fourteenthcentury. The Scottish equivalent is The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order ofthe Thistle, dating in its modern form to 1687.Manufacturing Techniques: casting, stamping, engraving.List of materials used: molding color alloy (nickel, tin, brass, zinc), enamel, Swarovski Crystals.Product Dimensions: 9 cm. x 9 cm.Net weight: 99 g.
