Whether or not there is to be the

While many of them may not have

The mace was originally a rstssEb

less in that earliest and most COM

was an essential part Of knights
accouterment, being useful at close
quarters. For ready convenience it
was hung at his saddlebow. Says an
ancient poem:

Then he gave the kyng his dele.
The besague and baston were va

used on horseback was a small weap-

foot was much longer and commonly
of wood, with head armed with iron
rings and spikes. It was carried by
the escort of magistrates and others
as a ready protection against VIC

its original use fell into allegiance
the thing assumed the ornamental
appearance it now has, it being now
carried as a mere honorary form.
