Not illustrated. 1858 Excerpt: ...knight by a solemn offering up of his achievements at the altar,"namely, the banner of his arms his sword, helmet, and crest, with its mantlings, all which had been set up over his stall when ho was installed. These oblations are granted to the Dean and Canons of Windsor, and deposited by them in the Chapter-House.
