THe regall ornaments ef Persia at the inauguration of their Kings by Cyrus in the time of Tarq Priscus the fift King of Rome was a Diadem called Cydaris the sacred fire and the figure of the Sun carried by the horse of Mars and 12. seuerall garments which Cyrus instituted and by a decree confirmed that they should remaine tanquam regalia to the posterity of Cyrus in Persia at Persepolis and to be vsed according to the law of Induendarum exuendarum vestium These regall ornaments of Cyrus were vsed with the Kings of Armenia Pontus and the most part of Asia for that they held their kingdomes vnder the Scepter of Persia. The regall ornaments of Egipt by Sheshac in the time of Salomon were such ornaments as the Priests of Vulcan in Memphis first inuented from the first to the last which was the sacred garment and rich robe of Isis which the Queenes of Egipt vsed to weare at triumphs or feasts according to the custome of Egipt were reserued and kept in Sacrario Isidis for the posterity of Sheshac and the Kings of Egipt The regall ornaments of Rome by Romulus in the time of Ezechias King of Iudah was no more but a coate of a purple coulor called Tunica Iouis and a long purple robe which Romulus himselfe the first King first inuented to set forth the Maiesty of a King The regall ornaments of the Prince of Cerinthia seemed most strange either for that they were reserued so long or that it was not lawfull by the law in Cerinthia to alter them they were so worne and consumed as Pantalion saith that the new elected Prince came to be inuested in such old garments that were so worne as he seemed more like a shepheard than a King And yet were these old garments so reserued and kept as diligently as King Cyrus robes at Persepolis in Persia or King Sheshacks garment at Memphis in Egipt The regall ornaments of Macedonia by Alexander in the time of their King was a rich Hat full of pearles called Chausia a rich slipper or pantofle called Crepida and a rich long robe which the Macedonians call Clamydem which Alexander the great vsed during his time And after him when the monarchy was brought to Rome Pompey the great vsed Alexanders robe rather for that he was likened to Alexander and for his sake rather then for credit that any Roman should seeme to haue by wearing a Macedonian garment I will omit to write of these christian Kings but only of their time of reuolting from the Romans The Longobardes the Goathes the Vandolles and Hunnes by reason of ciuill warres betweene themselues were made prouinces vnder the Romanes vntill the Empire decayed and after they had reuolted from the Romans they elected Kings to gouerne them Among the Longobardes Agelmundus their first King after their reuolting from the Romans 394. Among the Gothes after their reuolting Alaricus was their King 404. So was Gundericus ouer the Vandolles after their reuolting 413. And Attila King of the Hunnes after they had reuolted from the Romans 430. And after these Kings 1600. began the kingdome of Polonia where their first Crowned King was Miezlaus 963. In Hungaria the first crowned King was as Pantalion calleth him Beatus Stephanus 1003. And lastly in Bohemia the first crowned King was called Vladislaus 1080. of whose inauguration he hath set their Regalia aside omitting their ceremonies and inaugurations which they had from Charles the great Sectio 6.
