It has occurred to me that it might not altogether be uninteresting to you, or to the Society of Antiquaries, to receive, in as brief a space as the subject will admit of, a few remarks upon some of the Plates called Stall or Garter-Plates of the Knights of the Order of the Garter; which are or have been affixed in their Stalls in the Royal and Collegiate Chapel of Saint George at Windsor; I have, accordingly, the honour of submitting to you the following notices.
page 171 note * Sir Harris Nicolas also, in his “Orders of Knighthood,” recites similar instances. Vol. I. 1, 82.
page 174 note * The circumstance of the helmet and coronet of an Earl being emblazoned on the plate of the Earl of Ossory, who was only so by courtesy, is anomalous with the present usage. In the plate of Sir Robert Stewart (commonly called Viscount Castlereagh, and who afterwards became Marquess of Londonderry), installed in 1814, the arms are only ensigned by the present open helmet, appropriate to knighthood, and having no coronet.
page 176 note * It is doubtful whether any of the Stall-Plates are earlier than the time of Henry the Sixth.
page 179 note * It may be well to notice here that Beltz mentions also in his “Memorials,” (p. x. n.) that the Plate of Earl Rivers temp. Edward IV. had supporters upon it; an error into which Ashmole had fallen; but, on reference to a tracing preserved by Leake, the arms of Earl Rivers have no supporters.
