I took a day trip back to Windsor Castle. One of my favorite things I saw this time was the Knight Room where the Queen knights knights (that sounds way too redundant). It looks exactly like I pictured it would. There is also a huge hall with the banners of all the knights dating back to at least the 1500s. If you commit a crime and have your knighthood revoked, your banner is replaced with a solid white one to remind others of your crimes. I believe St. George, who the Chapel is named after is the patron saint of the knights.
