Ordo de la Scama in Castile.

JOHN the second, King of Castile, for the stirring up his Nobles to assist him in his Wars against the Moors, in Anno 1420. did e∣rect this order, which took so good effect, that in a short time the Moors were subdued. Their Ensign, according to Ios. Micheli, was a Cross composed of Scales of F••shes, from which it seemeth to have took its Name; for Scama in the Spanish signifies the Scale of a Fish. These Knights were obliged to fight against the Moors, to accompany the King in the Wars, and to die in the defence of the Christian Religion. Their Rules and Statutes for their Government were ordained by the said King, upon whose death this Order lost much of its splendor.
