The fees demanded on the occasions before recited were considerable, but the officers of arms had another source of revenue, namely, the largesses or rewards for proclaiming the styles and titles of the nobility. These were optional, and generally corresponded to the rank and opulence of the donors. "On Newe-yeares-day," [1486], says Leland, "the king, being in a riche gowne, dynede in his chamber, and gave to his officers of armes vi_l._ of his Largesse, wher he was cryed in his style accustomede. Also the quene gave to the same officers XL_s._ and she was cried in her style. At the same time my lady the kyngs moder gave XX_s._ and she was cried Largesse iij tymes.

Item, my lady his wiff XX_s._ and she was cried, Largesse de noble et puissaunt Dame la Countesse d'Oxinford, Marquise de Develyn, Vicountesse de Bulbik, et Dame de Scales, &c. &c." Another perquisite of the heraldic corps were great quantities of the rich stuffs, such as velvet, tissue, and cloth of gold, used as the furniture of great public ceremonials. The following are some of the fees claimed by the officers on state occasions, as recorded in one of the Ashmolean MSS. "At the coronacion of the Kinge of England c{_l._}[258], appareled in scarlet. "At the displaying of the King's banner in any campe ... c markes. "At the displaying of a Duke's banner, £20. "At a Marquis's, 20 markes. "At an Earle's, x{_l._}, &c. &c.
