Henry III. of See also:France devised a collar of enflamed fleur-de-lis and cyphers of H and L, a See also:fashion which was soon afterwards varied by Henry his successor. Elephants have been always See also:borne on the collar of the See also:Elephant founded in See also:Denmark in 1478, the other links of which have taken many shapes. Another Danish order, the Dannebrog, said to be " re-instituted " by See also:Christian V. in 1671, has a collar of crosses formy alternating with the crowned letters C and W, the latter See also:standing for Waldemar the Victorious, whom a See also:legend of no value described as founding the order in 1219. Of other See also:European orders, that of St See also:Andrew, founded by See also:- PETER
- PETER (Lat. Petrus from Gr. irfpos, a rock, Ital. Pietro, Piero, Pier, Fr. Pierre, Span. Pedro, Ger. Peter, Russ. Petr)
- PETER (PEDRO)
- PETER, EPISTLES OF
- PETER, ST
Peter of See also:Russia in 1698, has eagles and Andrew crosses and cyphers, while the See also:Black See also:Eagle of See also:Prussia has the Prussian eagle with thunderbolts in its claws beside roundels charged with cyphers of the letters F.R.
See also:Plain collars of Esses are now worn in the See also:United See also:Kingdom by See also:kings-of-arms, heralds and serjeants-at-arms. Certain legal dignitaries have worn them since the 16th See also:century, the collar of the See also:lord See also:chief-See also:justice having knots and roses between theletters. Henry IV.'s See also:parliament in his second See also:year restricted the See also:free use of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king's See also:livery collar to his sons and to all See also:dukes, earls, barons and bannerets, while See also:simple knights and squires might use it when in the royal presence or in going to and from the See also:hostel of the king. The giving of a livery collar by the king made a See also:squire of a See also:man even as the stroke of the royal See also:sword made him a See also:knight. Collars of Esses are sometimes seen on the necks of ladies. The See also:queen of Henry IV. wears one. So do the wife of a 16th century Knightley on her See also:tomb at Upton, and See also:Penelope, See also:Lady See also:Spencer (d. 1667), on her Brington See also:monument.
Since 1545 the lord See also:mayor of See also:London has worn a royal livery collar of Esses. This collar, however, has its origin in no royal favour, See also:Sir See also:John Alen, thrice a lord mayor, having bequeathed it to the then lord mayor and his successors " to use and occupie yerely at and uppon principall and festivall dayes." It was enlarged in 1567, and in its See also:present shape has 28 Esses alternating with knots and roses and joined with a See also:- PORTCULLIS (from the Fr. Porte-coulisse, porte, a gate, Lat. porta, and coulisse, a groove, used adjectivally for " sliding," from couler, to slide or glide, Lat. colare; the Fr. equivalents are herse, a harrow, and coulisse; Ger. Fallgatter; Ital. saraci
portcullis. Lord mayors of See also:York use a plain See also:gold See also:chain of a triple See also:row of links given in 1670; this chain, since the See also:day when certain links were found wanting, is weighed on its return by the outgoing mayor. In See also:Ireland the lord mayor of See also:Dublin wears a collar given by See also:Charles II., while See also:Cork's mayor has another which the Cork See also:council bought of a silversmith in 1755, stipulating that it should be like the Dublin one. The lady mayoress of York wears a plain chain given with that of the lord mayor in 167o, and, like his, weighed on its return to See also:official keeping. For some two See also:hundred and See also:thirty years the mayoress of See also:Kingston-on-See also:Hull enjoyed a like See also:ornament until a thrifty council in 1835 sold her chain as a useless thing.
Of See also:late years municipal patriotism and the persuasions of enterprising tradesmen have notably increased the number of See also:English provincial mayors wearing collars or chains of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. Unlike civic maces, swords and caps of See also:maintenance, these gauds are without significance. The mayor of See also:Derby is decorated with the collar once borne by a lord chief-justice of the king's See also:bench, and his See also:brother of Kingston-on-See also:Thames uses without authority an old collar of Esses which once hung over a See also:herald's See also:tabard. By a See also:modern See also:custom the See also:friends of the London sheriffs now give them collars of gold and See also:enamel, which they retain as mementoes of their year of office. (O.
