Edward III in Archaeologia (1846) 31 40 Ad faciendum xij garteria de blu broudata de auro & serico quolibet habente dictamen ‘Hony soyt qui mal y pense’.For a probable early allusion to the motto in an English text compare:c1450 (?a1370) Wynnere & Wastoure (1990) l. 68 And alle was it one sawe, appon Ynglysse tonge, ‘Hethyng haue the hathel þat any harme thynkes.’ In the manuscript of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (see quot. c1400) the Anglo-Norman motto is written at the end of the English text.

As a maxim used to warn against thinking badly or cynically of something or someone: ‘may he be shamed who thinks badly of it’.Sometimes also translated as ‘evil comes to those who evil think (or do)’, and variants.The phrase was originally adopted as the motto of the Order of the Garter at or near to the time of its institution by Edward III, c1348. According to tradition, the garter of the Countess of Salisbury fell off while she was dancing with King Edward, to her humiliation. The king placed it on his own leg, commenting ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’. Many modern scholars believe that the phrase and also the garter symbol referred additionally to Edward III's claim to the throne of France.
