Knights-Subjefis, upon vacancy, become removablePlealure.

For this reafon, the Emperor Maximilian II. and afterhim Rudolph II. his Son, had the Prince’s Stalls affigned

them after their Eletftion into the Order ; and feveral

the Kings of France were placed in the next below, be-ing the fecclffd on the Sovereign’s fide. And when therechanced to be more than one King at a time in the Or.der, the fecond Stall on the Prince’s fide was affigned him'for Precedency was meafured now by Dignity and Stateand not by the Antiquity of the Order ; As appears fromthe King of Bohemia, Anno 19 Henry VIII. and the Kingof Spain, Anno 8 Elizabeth, Princes Strangers, accor-ding to their regality, and illuftrious extraction, had theirScttuation next to Kings, as is manifeft from the Dukejof Savoy, Montmorency, and Holjlein, Anno 3 Elizabeth,and Frederick Prince Palatine, and Maurice Prince ofOrange, Anno n Jac. I.

But notwithftandmg thefe Affignments of Stalls to Stran-'gers, they were neverthelefs fubjedfc to removal, fometimesto Stalls higher than their own, upon the Death of aStranger, who died pofTeffed of a fuperior one ; and fome-times again to others lower, for the advancing a Knightof greater Degree and Diftinction, where the upper Stallswere already fupplied ; elfe they could not be lo ranked,according to their refpedtive Quality, as the Statutes en-joyn ; nor indeed wou’d any Stranger King have accep-ted of an. Election, unlefs he was placed in a diftinguilh-able Stall, fuitable to his Dignity. Ferdinand, Emperorof Germany, is an inftance of Advancement in uanfla-tion of Stalls ; for after the Death of the EmperorCharles V. his Brother, he was advanced frond the fecondStall on the Prince’s fide, into the Prince’s Stall. AnqlHenry IV. of France, from the fecond on the Sovereign’sfide, to the Prince’s Stall, and Chriftierne IV. King ofDenmark,, Anno 9 Jac. I.

Among Princes Strangers, we find Emanuel Duke ofSavoy, advanced from the third on the Prince’s fide, to thefecond on the fame fide, Anno 2 Elizabeth ; and Fredemk.Prince Palatine, Anno 1 Charles I. was advanced from thefecond of the Prince’s, to the (econd on the fide of theSovereign ; Iikewife Henry Frederick, Ptince of Orargti

was advanced from the third of the Sovereign’?
