Another action of Armes published in the Chamber of Presence at VVestminster by a King of Armes 25. of Nouember in the 1. and 2. of P. and M. FOrasmuch as euer it hath bene a custome that to the Courts of Kings and great Princes Knights and Gentlemen of diuers Nations haue made their repaire for the triall of Knighthood and exercise of Armes And knowing this Royall Court of England to bee replenished with as many noble Knights as any kingdome in the world at this day It seemeth good to Don Fredericke de Toledo the Lord Strange Don Ferdinando de Toledo Don Francisco de Mendoca and Garsulace de la Vega That seeing here in this place better then in any other they may shew the great desire that they haue to serue their Ladies by the honorable aduentures of their persons They say that they will maintaine a fight on foot at the Barriers with footmens harnesse three pushes with a pike seuen strokes with a sword in the place appointed before the Court gate on Tuesday the 4. day of December from the twelfth houre of the day vntill fiue at night against all commers Praying the Lords the Earle of Arundell the Lord Clinton Gartilapez de Padilla and Don Pedro de Cordoua that they would be Iudges of this Triumph for the better performance of the conditions following First that he which commeth forth most gallantly without wearing on himselfe or furniture any golde or siluer fine or counterfeit wouen embroidered or of goldsmiths worke shall haue a rich Brooch He that striketh best with a Pike shall haue a Ring with a Rubie He that fighteth best with a Sword shall haue a Ring with a Diamond He that fighteth most valiantly when they ioyntly fight together shall haue a Ring with a Diamond He that giueth a stroke with a Pike from the girdle downeward or vnder the Barrier shall winne no prize Hee that shall haue a close gantlet or any thing to fasten his Sword to his hand shall winne no

followeth it behooueth to know That the first places of dignity doe appertaine to those that are attendant and administrant in office illustrious The second is due to them that haue heretofore borne office of dignity and are now vacant The third belongeth to those that haue obtained an office of dignity in reuersion These diuers degrees were in the Emperiall Court called Administrantes Vacantes and Honorarij The officers Administrant are to precede next to them the Vacants and then the Honorarij or officers extraordinarie in which order they are euer to take place In simili dignitate non in dignitate dispari But to begin with Administrants and their order among themselues thus it is He that was first placed or sworne ought euer to precede and so in order from the first to the last In paridignitate As for example a Gentleman of the Kings Chamber in ordinary attendance shall take place before all other Gentlemen in part dignitate The like order ought be obserued by the Vacants for he that hath bene longest vacant may take place before him that is lesse ancient in vacancie As for example He that was a Viceroy or an Embassador ten yeeres past shall sit before him that serued since in pari dignitate The same course is to be kept among the number of Honorantes or seruants extraordinary As for example Hee to whome any office or other place of dignity is granted in reuersion being first therin placed or sworne shall goe before all others of his ranke in pari dignitate As for example A Master of Requests extraordinary must precede all others that haue since obtained that dignity yet true it is that an officer extraordinary may be by birth or otherwise so priuiledged as he shall take place of a Vacant and sometimes also of an Administrant Note also that euery office or dignity granted by the Prince in his own presence shall be of greater reputation then if the same were giuen in absence or sent vnto him that receiueth it data paritate in reliquis The same law also commandeth that a Vacant shal be preferred before an officer extraordinary and men of Armes seruing in any Emperiall or Royall Court shal be priuiledged before others in pari dignitate Iohan. de Platea Note likewise that these officers whome we call Vacants are of two sorts The one are they that haue absolutely quitted their offices or consented their places may be supplied by others the other are they who had office in some City Court or Countrey where now no such office is as the Counsellors of Milain when that State was subiect to the French king are now no more officers in that City being subiect to the King of Spaine yet doe they hold place of other Vacants in pari dignitate Likewise an Officer Administrant may sometime precede an Officer Extraordinary etiam in dignitate dispari But otherwise it is with a Vacant or extraordinary officer for he is neuer preferred in pari dignitate We call him Extraordinary that hath onely the name of an Officer without administration or fee yet shall he goe before all others of that place being his punies or men of no place As for example A Gentleman waiter Extraordinary shall not onely precede all other Gentlemen of lesse ancientie but also sit before all other Gentlemen not the Kings seruants in pari dignitate And consequently euery man Extraordinary in the Princes seruice shall take place before all other men without office and in pari dignitate It is also to be remembred that in euery office neere the person of the King or in his Royall house there is euer one supreme and superlatiue officer aboue the rest and after him other Honorable officers of diuers degrees The rest are equall yet with respect that he who was first preferred shall take place first As for example The chiefe Officer of the Emperors house was called Praefectus sacri Palatij and vnder him were certaine Comites as in the Court of England her Maiesties supreme Officer of houshold is the Lord Steward and next to him the Treasurer Comptroller Cofferer in France Le Grand Maistre in Spaine El Maggior domo c. Likewise those Emperors had one Praefectus sacri Cubiculi another Stabuli with their Comites as our Souereigne hath a Lord Chamberlaine a Master of the horse and diuers officers inferiour to them The rest of her seruants in euery particular office are to proceede as equals hauing respect to ancienty For he that was first aduanced ought alwayes to take place first in pari dignitate Which rule may direct euery man to goe as becommeth his qualitie and consequently eschewe all occasions of offence or presumption Whereunto we will adde one thing perhaps by euery one not obserued or to all men not knowen which is that all men seruing neere vnto the Princes person in what office or place soeuer are thereby priuiledged and honoured The words of the Law are these Adhaerentes lateri Principis eidem in officio seruientes nobilitantur nobiles efficiuntur Omnes famulantes principi sunt in dignitate ideo nobiles cum dignitas nobilitas idem sunt Bart.

Of Honourable places due to great Estates their wiues and children A Duke A Duke must goe after the auncienty of his Ancestors creation so that he be of the same blood and stocke And the Dutchesse his wife to goe according to the same But if he be a Duke of new creation then he is to proceede as a new Duke He is to haue in his owne house a cloth of Estate and in euery other place out of the Princes presence so that the same come not to the ground by halfe a yard A Dutchesse likewise may haue her cloth of Estate and a Barronesse to beare vp her traine in her owne house And no Earle ought to wash with a Duke but at the Dukes pleasure A Dukes eldest sonne is borne in the degree of a Marquesse and shall go as a Marquesse and weare as many powdrings as a Marquesse and haue his assayes the Marquesse being present sauing he shall goe beneath a Marquesse and his wife beneath a Marchionesse and aboue all Dukes daughters But if so be a Duke hath a daughter which is his sole heire if she be the eldest Dukes daughter then she shall goe before and aboue the Dukes eldest sonnes wife Also a Dukes daughter is borne equiualent to a Marchionesse and shall weare as many powdrings as a Marchionesse sauing she shal goe beneath all Marchionesse and all Dukes eldest sonnes wiues They shall haue none assayes in the Marchionesses presence And if they be married to a Baron they shall goe according to the degree of their husbands And if they be married to a Knight or to one vnder the degree of a Knight they are to haue place according to their birth Note that a Baron is an Estate of great dignitie in blood
