What number of Jousts, Tourneys and Triumphall Tournaments, haue bin held and perfourmed in Germanie, vpon seuerall dayes and meetings. CHAP. VI.

THe First Assembly or meeting, for these Triumphall Exercises, was held (as we haue already said) by the Emperour Henry, Sirnamed the Birder,* 1.1 being First of the name, and Duke of Saxonie: On the first Sunday after the Feast of the Three Kings, in the yeare of Grace, Nine hundred thirtie eight, and in the Citie of Magdebourg.

The said Emperour Henry, Portoit de l'Empire, that is to say, D'Or, à l'Aigle Esploye de Sable, Brize de Saxe, qui est de Gueulles, au Cheual gay tourne d'Ar∣gent.* 1.2

Page 466

in her right hand a Chaplet of all kindes of Floures, and the other hand by her side.

We shall heere obserue, by a most exact search, and vnspeakable trauaile, the Armes, Blazons, Tymbres, Lambrequins and Creasts, belonging to the Kings of those Tourneys, and we will deliuer them according to trueth. Because Modius in his Triumphall Pandects, hath represented nothing but Shields, cut in Wood, and the most part of them wanting, supposing some by other: but without declaring the Blazons and Coullers, which is the matter only most necessary. The noble Reader may be beholding to me for it, and Modius corrected by this perfected Exemplarie: Deus nobis haec otia fecit.

* 1.3The Foure Kings of this first Tourney, (speaking according to the manner of the Germaines, whom we in France tearme Iudges of the Field) were these Knights following.

Charles, Lord of Hohenhowen, of the Circle or Prouince of Suauba: Qui portoit d'Or, Couppe de Sable a vne Estoile d' Argent (the Germaines make all the Starres to haue Sixe Rayes or beames, and the French graunt but Fiue) Mezail, Tarre de front, Cimier vn Proboscide d' Elephant, d' Argent couppe de Sable, de l'vn en l'autre, lie d'vn lacs d' Amour de mesme.

In Germanie there are many Illustrious Families, which beare the Sirname of

Franckenstein; but their Armes are different from them, of whom we shall haue occasion to speake, in their seuerall places and degrees.

* 1.13Now, as concerning the Armes of the Citty of Mertspourg, Modius is therein much mistaken, because he giueth it a Lyon. It beareth d'Or, a vn Chasteau en Trian∣gle de Sable, Massonne d'Argent. That of Martspourg beareth d'Or au Fantassin Arme d'Argent, a vne Cornette & Banniere d'Azur, chargee d'vn Lyon d'Or. This is that which is at the Marquisate of Misnia, whereof there is now matter in question, as said to beare the name of Marcomir, King of the French, and First of the name (cari∣ed Prisoner in to Tuscanie, as we haue already shewne elsewhere) who had built it.

The Kings of this last Tourney were these Knights.

  • ...Lewes de Rheinac
  • ...Christopher de Gammer
  • ...Otho de Lichtenstein, &
  • ...Frederic Dalburgk,
All their Armes are before obserued.

And this was the last Tourney: After which we haue seene (So speaketh Sebastian Munster, in the third Booke of his Cosmographie) the common degree of the Nobility, to plundge and sinke themselus in the puddle of all Vices,* 1.40 yea, in the eye of the whole world. And the ignominie which they received publiquely in these Tourneys; serued as a Caues∣son or headstall for a Horses nose, or Bitt in a young Coltes mouth, to restraine our Gentlemen, vpon the tearmes of Vertue and Honour. By the extirpation of this Honourable Exercise among them, they became euen prostituted to all vile abuses, without obseruing any pathe or way to goodnesse. So farre goeth Munster, speaking nothing but the trueth.

Heere we could represent and Figure (euen to the life) the Armes and Blazons of all the Nobility of Germanie, both Lords and Ladies, Maried Wiues, Widdowes and Daughters,* 1.41 who (according as Modius writeth) haue bin present at these Tour∣neys; but the labour and paines would hould mee ouer-long. It shall satisfie mee therefore, to expresse none but them only, which Modius▪ hath declared to vs, and correcting them where they are wanting and defectiue, or so badly presented, that they come very short almost of any vnderstanding. He might haue demonstrated their Coullers and Mettals at the least, which had bin easie enough for him to haue done: if he had knowne, or were skilfull in that admirable vnderstanding, wherein the Germaines (so learned and curious in Armes as euer were any) are not meanely experienced, which knowledge our Grauers and Sculptures ought to pursue and imi∣tate. The Germaines (I say) in presenting the Armes of a Gentleman, make vse of certaine Letters, which doe serue them as noates or markes, for figuring the Met∣talls and Blazons in the Shield or Escutcheon, with the Creasts, Mantles and Sup∣porters.

* 1.42They make vse of Two Mettalls, and Foure Coullers, as we doe.

Or, which in their Language they call Gelb, and they make it knowne by the Let∣ter G.

Argent, tearmed in the Germaine tongue Weis, and they make it vnderstood by a double W.

Azur, among vs is named Blew, and that Couller by them is figured with a B.

Gueules, which they tearme Roth, they vse to present by the Letter R.

Synople, Which they call Grun in their Language, is denoated by a Leafe of Ne••••∣phar, as if we meant to say by a Trefoile, or Three leaued Grasse.

And Sable, which they tearme Schwartz, as much to say as Black, they expresse by the Letter S. Which by the following Table may be the more easily comprehended of euery one.

G
Gelb.
W
Weis.
B
Blow.
R
Roth.
Vn Trefoile
Grun.
S
Schwartz.

In like manner, we that are French-men, can make representation of our Armes by noates and markes, comming neere to the Language of our owne vnderstanding: As we haue done in the Armes of Monsieur le Clerc, Counceller.

But for our better making knowne and discerned, the Coullers and Mettals of the Germaines Armes; we haue figured them fairely to you, in the Module or Piece that doeth expresse the Order of Saint Gll. There wee haue presented the Armes of those Foure Men, that were the Authors or founders of the Switzers Liberty.* 1.44 Wher∣unto should haue bin added the deuise of Mantles, Helmes and Creasts, which we could not expresse vpon their Armes, in regard of want of roome and space, fitting and beseeming such a gracefull Ornament, and therefore we will heere speake them in the due Order of Emblazon.
