JRR Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” – an allusion to the “Order of the Knight’s of the Garter” founded 1348, Woodstock, Oxford…?

The Inklings were an informal literary discussion group associated with J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis at the University of Oxford for nearly two decades between the early 1930s and late 1949.

The Eagle and Child pub in Oxford where the Inklings met informally on Tuesday mornings during term.

(The Eagle and Child is also closely associated with Roman Emperor Hadrian and the dynastic Stanleys – the Earls of Derby)
