A PERFECT CATALOGUE OF ALL THE KNIGHTS OF THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE GARTER From the first Institution of it until this present April Anno 1661. Whereunto is prefixed A short Discourse touching the Institution of the Order the Patron Habit and Solemnities of it with many other Particulars which concern the same Collected and continued by J. N. LONDON Printed for Anne Seile over against St. Dunstans Church in Fleet-street 1661. TO THE READER REader I here present thee with a perfect Catalogue of the Knights of the Garter from the first Institution of that famous Order till this present April Anno 1661. which I conceive will neither prove unpleasing nor unseasonable in this Conjuncture considering that the solemn Installation of so many of Saint George's Knights the greatest that was ever known since the first founding of the Order by King Edw. 3. makes up a principal part of the Discourse of this present time But then I am withall to tell thee that in this piece I can call nothing mine without great presumption but my desire to do thee service all the materials of it being lent me by an abler hand From whose laborious Work upon this Subject and some additional helps which were since brought in I have collected whatsoever is now laid before thee And yet I cannot fear that either Felony or Petitlarsony will be laid to my charge or if it be I shall presume upon the Coronation pardon which is now at hand in case I should not meet with thine And so Fare thee well A Perfect Catalogue of all the KNIGHTS of the most Noble Order of the GARTER IT hath been held good policy in the greatest Princes to set apart some persons of rerown and vertue from the rest of the subjects and to unite them in a body amongst themselves Amongst which we may reckon Davids mighty men mentioned in the second of Samuel Chap. 23. thirty in number as appeareth by the 13. ver of that Chap. compared with Chron. 1. Chap. 27. v. 6. Some of whose names are registred and their chief acts especially their signall services against the Philistines recorded by the sacred Pen-men Of which sort also were King Arthur's Knights of the Round-table men of most eminent note in his long War against the Saxons And the twelve Peers of France ordained by Charlemaine for their great valour manifested against the Sarasens whose acts were so much memoriezd by some old Romancers Upon this ground the Templers and Hospitalers were first instituted by the Eastern Christians in order to the preservation of Ierusalem and the Holy-Land from the power of the Infidels As were the Knights of Alcantara Calatrava c. by the Kings of Spain for the defence of their Dominions against the Moores 2. But of all Orders purely Military there is not any now remaining in the Christian World either more ancient or more honourable then the most noble Order of S. George which we call the Garter First instituted by King Edw. the 3. anno 1350. which was 59. yeares before the instituting of the French Order of St. Michael by King Lewis the XI 229. years before the first devising of the new Order of the Holy-Ghost by King Henry the 3. full 80. years before the institution of the Burgundian Order of the Golden sleece by Duke Philip the Good and about 209. years before the Order of the Knights of the Elephant was first excogitated by the Kings of Denmark Which gives it clearly the precedence before other Orders in the point of Antiquity And yet it is esteemed as honourable as it hath been Ancient there having been more Emperours Kings and Forraign Princes of this one Order of the Garter then of all others in a manner in the Christian World Which honour it obtained by being kept precisely to its primitive number never exceeding 26. since the first originall whereas all others of this kind have been so far communicated unto all pretenders that at the last they lost their Lustre and thereupon became lesse estimable in the eye of the world But more particularly there have been honoured with this Order 8. Emperours of Germany 5. Kings of the French 3. Kings of Spain besides Charles the Emperour 7. Kings and Princes of the house of Portugall 2. Kings of the Scots 4. Kings of Denmark 3. Kings of Naples 1 of Poland and one of Sweden 1. Duke of Millaine 1. of Ferrara 2. of Urbine 7. Count Palatines of the Rhene whereof 2. Electors 1 Marquess Elector of Brandinburgh 2. Dukes of Beunswick 2. Dukes of Holst 1. Duke of wettenberge one Duke of Guelders and one Duke of Holland one Duke of Savoy one Duke of Usetagne 4. Princes of Orange two Dukes of Montmorency one Duke of Chevereuse one Duke of Espernon and one Prince of Serranti besides many other forraigners of great name and note 3. Now in this Order there are these particulars to be considered first the occasion of the institution secondly the Saint by whose name it was at first intituled thirdly the Habit and Solemnities which belong unto it fourthly the manner of their sitting in their stalls at Windsor and fifthly the Succession of those eminent persons who have been Dignified therewith from the first institution of it till this present time And first as touching the occasion of it it was briefly this King Edward the 3. having ingaged himself in a War with France for the obtaining of that Crown which descended on him as it was then supposed in the right of his Mother conceived it necessary to allure unto his party all such gallant Spirits as were inamored of Bellona And to the end erected a Round-Table in the Castle of Windsor in imitation of King Arthurs before remembred where they were entertained with Tilts and Tournaments Magnificent Feasts and other Princely ways to unite them together But Philip de Va-Loyce who was then actually in possession of the Crown of France mined with him and so undermined him by erecting a like Table in his Court wheresoever it was and drawing to it many of King Edwards Knights who were at liberty to go where they found best welcome So that being disappointed in this project he finds out another such as might be more fast and binding then the other was and so to fasten and unite his party as to assure himself that they should not flit from him as they had done formerly upon the hopes of a more liberall entertainment And to this purpose he ordained this Heroick Order consisting of six and twenty persons of most eminent note of which himself and his Successors Kings of England were to be the Soveraigns all of them men of choice endowments of great renown in Martiall Chivalry and such as should be bound both by Oath and Honour to adhere unto him 4. To each of these he gave a Garter richly wrought to be continually worn and fastned about the left leg with a Buckle of Gold from whence they were called Knights of
