Tribunes of the Roman Militia and this I can easily collect from the Authority and Testimony of very ancient Authors And first Sigebert the Monk in his Chronicle relates that Mahomet or Muhammad so he calls him about the year 630. constituted four Governours in the Saracenical Kingdome which were called Admirals And Theophanes in his Chronicle cited by Meursius tells us that Muhamed being about to die design'd four Admirals who were to subdue those who being of Arabick extraction did yet assert the Christian Religion And a nameless Author quoted by Bedwell seconds this Relation by informing us that a certain Caliph constituted four Tribunes of his Souldiery vulgarly call'd Admirals Admirantes they are call'd in his stile though in the phrase of Theophanes above cited they are stil'd Amiraei to every one of which he gave the Command of many subordinate Officers and Captains and which Commanders he call'd the sharp Swords of God And Junius out of the Notes of Cedrenus upon Curopalates discovers to us that Mahomet upon his Decease appointed four Admirals whom he enjoyn'd to crush and extirpate all those Arabians who had embrac'd the Christian Religion And farther relates that they to perfect his Commands advanced against Theodorus Chamberlain and General to the Greek Emperour between whom and themselves a fatal Field was commenc'd in which three of these Admirals and a numerous heap of other Souldiers perish'd The Tirant of Babylon in the stile of Henry of Huntington is nam'd the Admiral of Babilon and the same Author in his Chronicle asserts twelve Admirals of the Pagans to have been slain at the Siege of Antioch And Rupert the Monck in the fourth Book of his Saracenical History affirms that the Son of Cassian the Great King of Antioch and twelve Admirals which the Caliph of Babylon King he calls him had employ'd with succours to the King above mention'd all perish'd at the Seige of Antioch and these twelve which had the Appellation of Admirals annex'd to them he makes to be Rulers of twelve distinct Territories or Provinces And the same Author in the beginning of his fifth Book relates that the Embassadors of the Caliph of Babylon in their Addresses to the French Chieftains stile that Monarch the Admiral of Babylon Dominus noster Admiraldus Babyloniae mandat vobis Francorum Principibus salutem so in his phrase runs their Application Monstrelet an Anthour of good estimate mentions Arcubalistarum Admirallum an Admiral of the Arcubalists or of those persons who were arm'd with Crosse-bows and lastly Matthew Paris in his life of William Rufus tell us of one Corbaran who after he had Marshall'd his Army and brought his squadrons into Form and Order put those Troops under the Command of 29. Kings and Admirals But as this eminent Maritime Officer in these latter Times hath by prescription constantly assum'd the Name of Admiral so in the Times of an elder Inscription he was not always stil'd Admirallus but very frequently Magnus Drungarius Classis or the great Drungar of the Navy an Office of eminency and high estimate under the Greek Emperours yet this Title was not so confin'd to the Sea but that it was attributed likewise to those noble persons who manag'd the Command of the Land Militia and therefore the learned Meursius notes that there was Magnus Drungarius Biglae that is Vigiliae seu Excubiarum Praefectus the chief Commander or Praefect to whose inspection the care of the Watch was solely entrusted the Ensign or Monument of whose Authority as the same Meursius intimates was a Scepter or Truncheon of a Purple Colour richly guilded and adorn'd at the bottome Now the Etymology of this word Drungarius as Leunclevius asserts is deriv'd from the Modern Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and signifies the same with them as Agla does with the Turks and may be interpreted to be that Scepter or Truncheon which is the symbol of their Office and Authority hence the Drungarii amongst the Greeks the Aglarii amongst the Turks are equivolent to our Colonels in Christendome But the more proper and genuine Etymology of the word as it is us'd by Vop'scus and Vegetius is extracted from Drungus or Druncus which in their sense imports as much as Globus Militum and may without distorting the Phrase be interpre●ed a Squadron of Souldiers Vegetius in his discourse de Re Militari Lib. 3. Cap. 16. observes that scire Dux debet contrae quos Drungos hoc est Globos Hostium quos equites oporteat poni and Vopiscus in the year 280. relating the Victories of Probus the Emperour over the Blemii and the Germans tells us that he to enhanse the Pompe and Magnificence of his Conquests Omnium Gentium Drungos duxit he carried Squadrons or Heaps of all those Nations he had subdued before his triumphant Chariot I should now wind up this Discourse but finding so many eminent persons of the English Nation to have been invested and dignified with the Title of Admiral I thought it a labour not unworthy consideration to represent to the publique view a just Scale or Series of those worthy Heroes who have been in their several Generations by the Favour of the Prince advanc'd to this Office whose Catalogue is exactly Register'd in the learned and elaborate Pages of Sir Spelman's Glossary Marthusius the Arch-pirate in old Latine Records stil'd Archi-Pirata and Nautarum Princeps was Admiral under King Edgar and had several subordinate Commanders under his jurisdiction Praefecti they are call'd in the Record who had the Command under this Marthusius of almost a Thousand Ships a Report if we consider the Bulk and Dimension of those Maritime Vessels which were employ'd in those Times not altogether improbable where Note that although in these Moderne Ages the Name of Pirate is still applied to one who supports himself by Pillage and Depredation at Sea yet in Times of an elder inscription the word Pirata or Pirate was sometimes attributed to those persons to whose care the Mole or Peer of any Haven call'd in Latine Pyra was entrusted and by whose Inspection it was provided that those places should receive no prejudice which were the occasion of so much advantage to the publique interest After the mention of Mathusius there is a Gap or Interval in the Register of the Admirals and none recorded until the 8th year of Henry the 3d. and then Richard de Lucy of Newington Lucies in Kent begins the Catalogue from whom Ric. Lucy of Charlecot in Warwickshire Esq is in a Collateral or younger Line originally descended After whom the ensuing Roll of Admirals is without any intermission or interruption in an even clew or series conducted down to our Times Tho. de Moleton had the custody of the norrow Seas Custos Maris the Record stiles him in the 48 th year of Henry the 3 d.
