Knights of the Oak in Navarr.

THE Inhabitants of the Kingdom of Navarr being almost over∣run by the Moors, notwithstand∣ing their great Army raised to oppose them, for that they wanted an experienced General to command them; at length one Don Garcia Ximenes (who had betook himself to a religious and solitary Life) was perswaded to take upon him that Command, which was about the year of Christ 722. And as he was marching out of the City to fight the Moors, there appeared to him from the top of an Oaken Tree the sign of the Cross, which was adored by an in∣numerable quantity of Angels. In this Bat∣tel he gained so signal a Victory, that the people elected him their King; and shortly after he instituted this Order of Knighthood, investing therewith the Nobles, and persons of Renown in his Kingdom, whom he obliged to defend the Christian Faith, and to own Obe∣dience to him and his Successors, Kings of Na∣varr. The Habit that he assigned them was a white Garment, having thereon a plain red Cross set on the top of an Oaken Tree in its Verdure.
