^{page 382 note f} Walsingham, in his account of the coronation of Richard II, mentions, that the king was invested with a stole;—primo tunica S^ti Edwardi, et post, ejusdem Dalmaticâ, projecta circa collum ejus stola.

In the coronation ceremonies of Henry VII, and VIII, the armylls are described to be made in the form of a stole wodyn with gold, set with precious stones.

Henry VI. is said to have been arrayed, at the time of his coronation, as a bishop that should sing Mass, with a dalmatic like a tunic, and a stole about his neck. Ms. W. Y. in the College of Arms.

The investing with a white stole, in modum crucis in pectore, is particularly mentioned in several foreign ceremonials. Goldastus in the Constitutiones Imperiales, vol. I. p. 95. speaking of Maximilian king of the Romans, says, induebatur cum sandaliis, et stola alba in modum crucis in pectore; and other ceremonials, printed in Martene, have the same words.

^{page 383 note g} Several of the gentlemen present at opening the coffin thought them to be real seed pearls; but all of them, being exactly of the same size, hue, and shape, militate against that opinion.

These being discovered four years after, and reclaimed by Mons. de Bras, an officer of the town, remained in his possession till his death; since which event it is unknown what is become of them *.
