Chapter XXI: Part 21
In 1 _Edw._ VI. at the Feast then held at _Windsor_, there arose a Question, whether the Atchievements of King _Henry_ VIII. which yet hung over the Sovereign’s Stall, should be taken down and offered at the Mass of _Requiem_ ensuing, or not? in regard his Banner, Sword, Helm, and Crest, with Mantles, had been offered up before, at his Interment within that Chappel. In conclusion of which it was determined, _That the said Atchievements shou’d not again be offered, but remain over the Sovereign’s Stall, for his Son King_ Edward VI. But when the Sovereigns of this most Noble _Order_ are not interred at _Windsor_, then their Atchievements are offered up the next ensuing Feast; as were those of Queen _Elizabeth_, which the _Blue-Book_ notes to be done at Morning Prayer.
As to the time for performing this Ceremony, it was ordained to be on the Morrow after the Feast, when the Mass was Sung for the Souls of the _Knights-Companions_, _&c._ and so was duly observed till the time of the Reformation, when the Mass of _Requiem_ being abolished, it was nevertheless at the Morning Service, on the Morrow immediately after the Offertory: But after Queen _Elizabeth_ had removed the Feast of St. _George_ from _Windsor_, this Solemnity was frequently dispatched in one Day, before they went out of the _Choir_; and the ancient Rule, as to the time, being thus broke, was never after restored, but generally performed the very same Morning wherein the elect Knights were installed: And though the Day was thus changed, yet the Ceremony it self was not performed till after the Installation was finished, that Solemnity having always the Precedency, till 9 _Jac._ I. when he observing how incongruous it seemed, to instal a new Knight before his Predecessor had been fully discharged of his Stall, gave Order for Offering the Atchievements of Sir _Henry Lea_, the Lord _Scroop_, and others, before the Instalment of the elect Knights.
Not long after, it was thought convenient to perform this Ceremony on the Eve of the Feast, presently after the first _Vespers_ began; and next to proceed with the Installations; whereby, as much as possible, the Stalls of the _Knights-Companions_ might be supplied, in all the rest of the Solemnities of the Feast. But if at any time, any of the new elect Knights were introduced into the _Choir_, before the Offering of the Atchievements began, they were appointed to stand there under the Stalls designed for them till that Ceremony was finished.
Thus it continued from the said 9 _Jac._ I. till the 15 _Car._ II. when it was performed at the time anciently accustomed for it; the Prince of _Denmark_, and the Duke of _Monmouth_, being both installed before the first _Vespers_ began, and the Atchievements of the defunct Knights not offered till the Morrow after the Feast Day.
As to the Manner and Order of this Ceremony, among other Institutions of King _Henry_ V. it is appointed, _That as often as, through the vacancy of any Stall, the Swords, Helms, with the rest of the defunct Knights, ought to be offered, the Sword of the deceased Knight shall be first offered, being carried up to the_ High Altar _by two of the_ Knights-Companions, _and afterwards the Helm, with the Crest and Mantlings, by two other_ Knights-Companions; _and this Offering is to be made for them, in the Order they were installed, not as they died_.
But of the Offering of a defunct Knight’s Banner, we find no express mention till 18 _Hen._ VII. at which time the Banner of the Lord _Brook_ was offered: But afterwards the direction for Offering their Ensign and Banner was taken into King _Henry_ VIII’s Body of _Statutes_. And since the same were introduced, according to the foregoing Precedent, it was to be offered first, and so hath been generally observed.
By the appointment of the _Statutes_ of _Henry_ V. the Sovereign is to nominate and assign the _Knights-Companions_, who are severally to perform this Ceremony; and so is the direction in _Henry_ VIII’s _Statutes_: But since the beginning of Queen _Elizabeth_’s Reign, the Knights have generally proceeded to this Offering, according to their Seniority; and when the Course ended, then the _Seniors_ began again. There are likewise many Examples where the Sovereign’s Lieutenant has joined in the Ceremony to assist the other Knights: Nor is a Proxy, or Deputy, to be admitted to perform any part of the Ceremony, though in the Offering of Money he ought.
We shall next proceed to the Duties of the Prelate of the _Order_, the Prebends, and Officers of Arms, as their Services severally, or jointly, relate to the performance of this Ceremony. First then, the Prelate, and two Prebends, ought to proceed up to the _Altar_, immediately before _Garter_ summons down the _Knights-Companions_ to the Offering; and there stand ready to receive the Atchievements, as they are severally offered up.
It is next the Duty of the _Provincial Kings_, and _Heralds_, to conduct the _Knights-Companions_, when they proceed up to the _Altar_, bearing any part of the defunct Knight’s Atchievements. The whole Ceremony is briefly thus.
First _Garter_ rises from his Seat, and proceeds into the middle of the _Choir_, where, after his usual Obeysances, he summons the _Knights-Companions_ to descend, who come down and place themselves before their Stalls: Whereupon _Clarenceux_ and _Norroy_ (or in the absence of either, the _Senior Herald_, or of both, of the two eldest _Heralds_,) pass down from the Steps of the _Altar_ into the Body of the _Choir_; in the interim _Garter_ takes the _Banner_ of the eldest defunct Knight, and presents it, half rolled up, to the two _Senior Knights-Companions_; the two _Provincial Kings_ by this time approaching them, make their double Reverences, and after to the other _Knights-Companions_, and then stand a little aside; while the two _Senior_ Knights, having taken the _Banner_ between them, make their double Reverence, and pass up to the _Altar_, (preceeded by the Kings) bearing it with the lower end of the Staff foremost, and at the first _Haut-Pas_ make another double Reverence. The _Provincial Kings_ being arrived at the uppermost _Haut-Pas_, after an humble Obeysance, divide themselves to make way for the Knights to Offer, who forthwith raise the Point of the _Banner_ upwards, and after a single Reverence toward the _Altar_, present it upon their Knees, to the Prelate of the _Order_, who delivers it to two Canons, and they deposite it upon Cushions laid before the _Altar_. This done, the two _Provincial Kings_ conduct the Knights back into the _Choir_, who, with the usual Reverences, retire to their Stations, under (not to) their Stalls, and the _Provincial Kings_ to their, on either side the _Altar_.
Next the two _Senior Heralds_ pass down into the _Choir_, as the _Provincial Kings_ did, whilst _Garter_, taking up the Sword, presents it to the two next _Senior_ Knights, who proceed to the _Altar_ with the two _Heralds_ before them, in the same Order as before, bearing the Sword between them, and offer the same with the Pommel or Hilt upwards, and then retire as before.
In the next place, the two next _Senior Heralds_ go down as before, and the _Helm_ and _Crest_ is offered in the like manner: But the _Pursuivants_ at _Arms_ do no part of this Duty.
Heretofore we find that _Garter_ has not only begun this Solemnity, by presenting the _Banner_, but has also conducted the two _Senior_ Knights to the _Altar_, as he did 5 _Eliz._ by the _Banner_ of the Lord _Grey_; and at some other times. It was likewise the usage heretofore for the Prelate to deliver the offered Atchievements, to some of the _Heralds_, to be deposited near the _Altar_.
There is nothing on this farther observable, than what relates to the Atchievement it self, which, as they became by this Ceremony part of the Goods of the Chappel, and included within the Words of the _Statutes_ of the College, whereby the Sovereign granted to the Dean and Canons all Oblations, they could not be sold or alienated, and were therefore deposited by them in the _Chapter-House_: But the _Helms_ and _Swords_, because they were at first forged for the Service of War, of an extraordinary large size, have been frequently redeemed, that they might serve again to the same uses. And likewise, because it belongs to _Garter_ to provide Atchievements for new installed Knights, he usually hath compounded with the Dean and Canons for the defunct Knight’s Atchievements.
_Of depositing the deceased Knights_ Mantles _in the_ Chapter-House.
$ 4. In 9 _Eliz._ there passed a Decree, _That the_ Knights-Companions _should be bound by their Oaths, to take care, by their last Will, that after their Decease, all their Ornaments, which they had receiv’d, should be restored, the Robes to the College, and the Jewels to the King that gave them_. Sir _Christopher Hatton_ complied with the Decree, and sent his _Mantle_ accordingly; but that of Sir _Henry Lea_, being left to the disposal of others, and not sent to the College, happened at length to come into the Hands of Brokers, and was openly exposed to Sale in _Long-lane_, to the great dishonour of the _Order_.
This Decree was in after times but slackly observed, and therefore in a _Chapter_ held at _Windsor_, 4 _Car._ I. the Knights were admonished, _That when the Sovereign should vouchsafe to bestow the_ Mantle _of the_ Order, _the Knight should take care at his Death, to have it sent to the Chappel at_ Windsor, according to the _Statutes_. But this taking little Effect, the Sovereign thought fit to restore vigorously the Law in this particular, by a Decree in _Chapter_, 13 _Car._ I. which obliged all _Knights-Companions_, receiving the Ensigns of the _Order_ from the Sovereign, to take care, according to the tenor of their Oaths, that these, together with the Book of _Statutes_, should be restored in the Hands of the Sovereign, after their Deaths; and a Command was therewithal given, _That certain_ Books, Mantles, _and_ Surcoats, _then lying at_ White-Hall, _shou’d be delivered to the_ Register _of the_ Order, _to be laid up at_ Windsor, _in honourable Memory of those to whom they belonged_.
In Observation of these Decrees, where the _Habit_ and _Ensigns_ of the _Order_ were either wholly, or in part, bestowed by the Sovereign, Order was taken, at the Decease of such _Knights-Companions_, to send for them in again. As at a _Chapter_ held 15 _Car._ I. the _Garter_ and _George_ of the Lord Treasurer _Weston_ being sent back, were presented to the Sovereign; and after delivered to the _Dean_ and _Chapter_ of _Windsor_, to be preserved: And in the same _Chapter_ it was ordered, that the Earl of _Kelly_’s Robes and Ornaments of the _Order_, should be sent for by the Chancellor.
These former Decrees were yet thought needful to be confirm’d by King _Charles_ II. so that in a _Chapter_ held 1669. at _White-Hall_, it was Decreed, _That the Mantle of each_ Knight-Companion, _with the Book of_ Statutes, should be sent to _Windsor_, immediately after their Deaths; _and that the Chancellor of the_ Order _should be obliged, by Letters to their Heirs and Executors, to put them in mind of sending them thither_. But it is to be understood, that where the Mantle has been provided at the Knight’s own Charge, there is no obligation for returning them.
Thus I have run through all the Particulars, relating to the Institutions, Laws, and Ceremonies, of this most Noble _Order_; I shall in the last Place proceed to give a List of all those who have enjoyed this singular Mark of Honour from its first Foundation. The Motives which excited the Royal Founder to set on Foot the said _Order_, are already particularly treated of; who having established _Rules_ and _Statutes_ for the Government, and regulation thereof, he next resolved to elect, from among the Flower of his own Wars, twenty five of the most celebrated Knights, who, together with himself, should make up the Number of Twenty six; for of so many does the _Order_ by his Appointment consist: And indeed that Age plentifully furnished him with Men of the most brave and celebrated Characters, and of signal Reputation in Arms, raised by the eminent Wars of those times, and justly distinguished by their own heroick Actions.
The first that he elected into this Noble _Order_, was _Edward_, his eldest Son, who already in part deserved, and afterwards justly obtained the Title of a Brave and Martial Prince, of whom our Histories speak so largely. The rest of his accomplished Collegues, were these that follow, and are thus placed in their Stalls.
