The Order of the Belt of Hope was a knighthood order which was founded in 1389 by King Charles VI of France and dedicated it to "Our Lady who bring back home the lost hunters".[This quote needs a citation]
Other sources including Menestrier named Louis II, Duke of Bourbon as founder, maybe making a mistake with the Order of Our Lady of the Thistle.
Ackermann mentions this chivalric order as historical order of France.
