http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath
<<The Most Honourable Order of the (BATH) is a British order of chivalry [revived] by George I on 18 May 1725. The name derives from the elaborate mediaeval ceremony for creating a knight, which involved (BATH)ing (as a symbol of purification) as one of its elements. The knights so created were known as "Knights of the (BATH)". George I "erected the Knights of the (BATH) into a regular Military Order".
In the Middle Ages, knighthood was often conferred with elaborate ceremonies. These usually involved the knight-to-be taking a (BATH) (possibly symbolic of spiritual purification) during which he was instructed in the duties of knighthood by more senior knights. He was then put to bed to dry. Clothed in a special robe, he was led with music to the chapel where he spent the night in a vigil. At dawn he made confession and attended Mass, then retired to his bed to sleep until it was fully daylight. He was then brought before the King, who after instructing two senior knights to buckle the spurs to the knight-elect's heels, fastened a belt around his waist, then struck him on the neck (with either a hand or a sword), thus making him a knight.
From the coronation of Henry IV in 1399 the full ceremonies were restricted to major royal occasions such as coronations, investitures of the Prince of Wales or royal Dukes, and royal weddings, and the knights so created became known as Knights of the (BATH).

*TRIA IUNCTA IN UNO*
"Three joined in one"
......................................................
From at least 1625, and possibly from the reign of James I, Knights of the (BATH) were using the motto *TRIA IUNCTA IN UNO* (Latin for "Three joined in one"), and wearing as a badge three crowns within a plain gold oval. These were both subsequently adopted by the Order of the (BATH); a similar design of badge is still worn by members of the Civil Division. Their symbolism however is not entirely clear. The 'three joined in one' may be a reference to the kingdoms of England, Scotland and either France or Ireland, which were held (or claimed in the case of France) by English and, later, British monarchs. This would correspond to the three crowns in the badge. Another explanation of the motto is that it refers to the Holy Trinity. Nicolas quotes a source (although he is sceptical of it) who claims that prior to James I the motto was Tria numina iuncta in uno, (three powers/gods joined in one), but from the reign of James I the word numina was dropped and the motto understood to mean Tria [regna] iuncta in uno (three kingdoms joined in one). The last occasion on which Knights of the (BATH) were created was the coronation of Charles II in 1661.>>
