Order of the Garter on Bended Knee

As a follow up to my previous post, I would like to address this excerpt pertaining to the etymology of the name George:
St. George began to be recognized as patron of England in time of Edward III, perhaps because of his association with the Order of the Garter (see garter). His feast day, April 23, was made a holiday in 1222. 
The inner twin world means of communication is created via leads, and in this case the word "garter" above is our next lead and so the inner twin worlds continuing communication. Note the following etymology:
Arms of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.svggarter (n.) Look up garter at Dictionary.comearly 14c., from Old North French gartier "band just above or below the knee" (Old French jartier, 14c., Modern French jarretière), from garet "bend of the knee," perhaps from Gaulish (cf. Welsh garr "leg"). Garter as the highest order of knighthood (mid-14c.), according to Froissart was established c.1344 by Edward III, though the usual story of how it came about is late (1614) and perhaps apocryphal. The verb is mid-15c., from the noun. Garter snake (U.S.) so called from resemblance to a ribbon. Garter belt first noticed 1913.
This is astounding when considering my recen post date January 2, 2014 entitled:
Keep in mind as well that the word "garet" as mentioned in the above which means "bend of the knee", is an addition to the "Knee/Kneel/Neil/Neal" pattern-cluster thats cropped up a number of times over the past year.

Note this excerpt from Wikipedia re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter:
Membership of the order is limited to the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and no more than twenty-four members, or Companions. The order also includessupernumerary knights and ladies (e.g., members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).
Puts a whole new meaning to the recent "Harry" pattern-cluster.
