His arms were, Azure, a Bend reguled; in the sinister Chief, a Ducal Coronet Or. It would seem from this bearing, that he also was a dependant upon the Dudley family. RALPH LANGMAN, Gent. See York.

SAMUEL THOMPSON, Gent.-See next reign. ELIZABETH. GUISNE S. Edw. vI.-HENRY FELLOW, Gent. As he bore the same arms, and is almost constantly called Fellow, we must suppose that it was the surname. What relationship there was between him and Nicholas Fairlow, or Fellow, Calais, is not known. It is very honorable to his memory, that Sir John Wallop, Knight of the Garter, lieutenant of the castle and county of Guisnes, by his will, dated May 22, 1551, gave to "Guyens Pursevante his best cupp, the best broche, the same that the Quene that last dyed dyd give me, with the "greate white stone." Sir John was ancestor to the Earls of Portsmouth. Sir Anthony Aucher, Knight, marshal of Calais, governor of Guisnes, master of the Jewel-house to Henry VIII., Edward VI., and Mary, was slain when Calais was taken. He never rose higher. In him this office ended, for the same reasons as have been given in speaking of Calais. HAMP NES. Edw. VI.-RICHARD TURPIN, Gent.-See Blue-mantle. NEW HAVEN. Guisnes Hampnes. A town on the Coast of France, taken by Elizabeth in 1562, and lost the following year. Lord Warwick, the governor, took over with him Turpin, Blue-mantle. Edmondson, Mowbray, is right, in saying the Queen had such a pursuivant extraordinary; the office soon expired. This, and Hameltune, a haven near Boulogne, is the same. This writer says Elizabeth had Hameltune pursuivant in her fifth year, being 1562 and 1563, and calls him John Hart, Gent. JOHN HART, Gent.-See Chester. B b 2 Newhaven. FLIZABETH. Pursuivants. Athlone. Berwick. Rose-blanch. Rouge-Rose. Blanch-Lion. ATHLONE. Edw. VI. PHILIP BUTLER, Gent. Illegitimate son of Butler, Ulster; he bore his arms with a Bâton Sable, as a mark of bastardy. After his death the office was properly appropriated solely to Ireland. All these pursuivantships extraordinary expired in this reign. He received instructions for the delivery of letters to the Regent of • Scotland, which of them is not mentioned, and an order for his conduct during his journey. He died in this office, in or after the year 1565, His arms were Gules, a Bend Ermine; a Label, Or. April 22, 1602. - RICHARD ST. GEORGE, Gent.-See next reign.

Names of such Persons who petitioned for Places in the College at the latter Part of this Reign, but never obtained them, taken from Garter Dethick's Schedule. Moyan Colman put in competition with Camden, for Norroy's office. He published the genealogies of James I. and his Queen, in ten shects, in 1608. Hugh Bennet, who had been a servant to Cook, Clarenceux. Anthony Hale, known to Mr. Mills (Milles) and Mr. Philip. It is extraordinary that Mr. Drury was not preferred, as he was the only one whose name has a cross prefixed to it by Lord Burleigh, who did not gain some office. ELIZABETH. JAMES I. JAMESI. Acceded March 24, 1602-3;-Died March 27, 1625. THE first act in James I.'s reign, in which we hear of the heralds, after solemnly proclaiming him as usual, was their going to attend his Majesty at his public entry into London. Accompanied by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, they met their new Sovereign three miles from the City, May 7, 1603, being the same day he left Theobalds. To prevent the disagreeableness of the dust, he rode through the meadows. Two miles from Waltham, John Swinnerton, one of the sheriffs of London, met the King with sixty men, sumptuously dressed in new liveries: the other sheriff being very ill, could not accompany him. Richard Martin, of the Middle Temple, Esq., addressed James in an eloquent and learned oration. At Stamford-hill, the Lord Mayor, Knights, and Aldermen of London, in scarlet robes, presented themselves, with five hundred of the other chief citizens, in velvet coats and chains of gold, being, like the sheriff and his suite, all finely mounted. The gentlemen of the hundreds, sergeants at arms, and all the English heralds in their tabards, with other officers of state, trumpeters, and inferior servants of the Crown, went thither; each, forming himself into his proper place, conducted the Monarch to the Charter-house, the sword of state being borne by the Duke of Lenox. James was charmed with seeing so much larger a concourse of people than he had ever before done, the multitude flocking from all parts. Few had ever beheld a kingly Monarch; females having reigned for the fifty years preceding. James, and his splendid train, arrived at the Charterhouse about six o'clock in the evening: his Majesty remaining there four days, was royally entertained by Lord Thomas Howard. For this attendance, as well as the coronation fees, Sir William Segar, Garter, delivered in a note, signed by himself. 1 James |
