TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>Lodouicus the eleuenth King of France,
        when het was about to institute the order of
        Saint Michaell (as they call it) in the yeare of
        our Lord 1469. for a Cognizance or Simbole
        he ensigned them with a golden chaine linc-
        <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac024"/>
        ked togither with cockle-stones, and double
        knots, with circles of gold: in the midst where-
        of was a knob or mushrome, as it were a pro-
        montorie with the golden image of Saint Mi-
        chael hanging downe vppon their brestes.
        Which last he did, being prouoked thereto by
        the example of king Charles the seuenth his
        father, who vsed the same image for his ensign
        in wars, taking the beginning of his mangu-
        ration at Rothomage. Which custome was be-
        gun, &amp; afterwardes confirmed amongst many
        kings, through a notable miracle or vision (as
        they superstitiously dreame) of S. Michael ap-
        pearing in the battell by the bridge of the citie
        of Orleance, who expulsed &amp; droue away the
        English men, and set the Citie free from their
        siege. The chaine therefore is a type of figure
        of this order, a signe of vertue, concord, and of
        a perpetuall league or couenant of amitie and
        friendship to be continued amongst them, also
        a cognizance or badge of those that deserued
        well, and of the victorie obteined. By the gold
        he would haue to be vnderstood, magnanimi-
        tie, prowesse and honours. By the cockles,
        their mutuall equalitie or common condition
        of fortune: imitating herein the order of the
        Romane Senators, who vsed to weare cockles
        vpon their sleeues: by the tying of the togi-
        <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac025"/>
        ther with a double knot, he would represent
        the indissoluble couenant made betwixt him
        and the rest, and that with no friuolous signifi-
        cation. Last of all, by the image, he would shuld
        be declared the victorie and triumph which
        Michaell had ouer the diuell, whom he ouer-
        came. The reason of which signe doth greatly
        appertaine as well to the regiment and maie-
        stie of a kingdome, as also to strike feare and
        terrour into the enemy. And how many he
        thought good to be admitted into the societie
        of this order, he himselfe declared, to wit, 36. as
        it were patrones of the kingdome, amongst
        whome he would be counted the first of chie-
        fest. And therefore the same time, that he or-
        deined this order to be celebrate, he named
        fifteene lordes, whom for honours sake, and
        prerogatiue of their names, it is not conueni-
        ent to omit with silence. The first therefore
        were these:
        Charles Duke of Guienne.
        Iohn Duke of Burbon and Auergne.
        Lewis of Luxenburg Earle of Saint Paul, and
        Constable of France.
        Andrew Lauallius, lord of Loheac, Marshall
        of France.
        Iohn Earle Sanserre lord of Bueile.
        Lewis Beaumont, lord of Forest and Plessis.
        <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac026"/>
        Lewis Destouteuille, lord of Torcy.
        Lewis Lauall, lord of Chastillon.

        mirall of France.
