Kings or Dukes, as when the beforementioned Earl

down

Arundel, were fet crown in u.King of Portugal, the Duke

Oxford, Devonshire, andPlace of Barons ; the

Warwick and Norfolk., were put in the Clafs of p rincand fo it happened in many other infhnces. Cs>

On the contrary, Anno 15 and 1 6 Eld. IV. the LordRich. Grey one of the Queen’s Sons, by her former Hu sband, Sir John Grey of Groby Knight; in relpccl of bj$Alliance to the Royal Family, is Ranked in the firft Qi.vifion among the Princes, under the Title DminusRichardus films Regina, and afterwards Anno 19 Edvi. Iyfet only among the Barons, as well with the formerTitle as this Richardus Dominus Grey, but Anno zafdru.iyhe is thrice regifter’d among the Princes, and as oftenwith the Barons, whence it is obfervable that to beEnrolled in the Rank of Princes, may be afforded ofcourtefie to Perfons of high Eminency and Blood 5 butthen as they can lay no claim to it by their Merit, fofuch of the Knights-Companions as Rank them lower,fuffer no diminution in their Honour.

The Knights-Batchelors andBannerets held the fame
