Heraldry in England. But Heraldry not only formed a convenient mode of bestowing eagerly-sought rewards for meritorious services, but occasionally a terribly severe means of chastising those who failed to uphold the honour and dignity of distinctions already conferred. Take, for instance, the following:
"Andrew de Harcla (age 52), a knight, and Earl of Carlisle, was in this sort degraded. He, being apprehended, was by the King's commandment brought [on 3rd March 1322] before Sir Antony Lucy (age 39), apparelled in all the robes of his estate as an earl and a knight, and so led unto the place of judgment. Being thither come, Sir Antony Lucy said to him these words, 'First, thou shalt lose the order of knighthood, by which thou hadst all thy honour ; and further, all worship upon thy body be brought to nought.' Those words being pronounced, Sir Antony Lucy commanded a knave to hew the knight's spurs from his heels, and after caused his sword to be broken over his head. That done, he was despoiled of his furred tabard, of his hood, of his furred coats, and of his girdle. Then Sir Antony said to him these words, 'Andrew, now thou art no knight, but a knave, and for thy treason the king doth will thou shalt be hanged.'"

The History of William Marshal was commissioned by his son shortly after William’s death in 1219 to celebrate the Marshal’s remarkable life; it is an authentic, contemporary voice. The manuscript was discovered in 1861 by French historian Paul Meyer. Meyer published the manuscript in its original Anglo-French in 1891 in two books. This book is a line by line translation of the first of Meyer’s books; lines 1-10152. Book 1 of the History begins in 1139 and ends in 1194. It describes the events of the Anarchy, the role of William’s father John, John’s marriages, William’s childhood, his role as a hostage at the siege of Newbury, his injury and imprisonment in Poitou where he met Eleanor of Aquitaine and his life as a knight errant. It continues with the accusation against him of an improper relationship with Margaret, wife of Henry the Young King, his exile, and return, the death of Henry the Young King, the rebellion of Richard, the future King Richard I, war with France, the death of King Henry II, and the capture of King Richard, and the rebellion of John, the future King John. It ends with the release of King Richard and the death of John Marshal.
