Military Knights of Windsor
Chivalric order
About
The Military Knights of Windsor (who were originally named the Alms Knights and known informally as the Poor Knights) are retired military officers who receive a pension and accommodation at Windsor Castle, to provide support for the Order of the Garter and for the services of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. They are commanded by a senior retired officer, the Governor of the Military Knights of Windsor.
After the 19th century, the Military Knights were not required to be poor, and retired military officers who were members of chivalric orders were appointed to their office.
