_Order of St. David of Wales._--In the reign of Queen Elizabeth there was
an order of knighthood--the Order of St. David of Wales. When was that
Order created? Who was the first knight? Who was the last knight? What
prelate was the chaplain to the Order? Why was it dissolved? Why is it not
revived again? We have several Welsh peers, noblemen, knights; four
bishops, men of science and learning, Welshmen. I hope the good Queen
Victoria will revive this ancient order of knighthood, and the Prince of
Wales be created the first knight. The emblem of Wales is a red dragon.
Can any of your readers give an account of this ancient order? Some years
ago there were several letters in _The Times_, and other papers, respecting
it and the Welsh motto. Wales should have its knight as well as Ireland,
Scotland, and England.
