- The Coronation of Charles 1st: Fine for not buying
a Knighthood 1630.
- Hand written letter. “Received the day and year above written by me Sir John Tracy Knight Collector of the funds due to his Majesty in the county of Glouc. for not taking the order of Knighthood of William Rogers the Elder of Dowdeswell in the said county gentl: the sum of ten pounds of lawful money of England for his fine in that behalf made with his Majesty's Commissioners of the said county. I day rec'd Jno Tracy Dowdeswell near Cheltenham. ”
Neither party has been identified but Tracy was a name associated with Gloucestershire gentry. The centuries old battle between Sovereign and Parliamentary control. Early in the reign of Edward II anyone owning land worth £20 a year was liable to a fine for refusing a knighthood, and similar proclamations or outright sales to all corners were frequent. James lst is said to have created 906 knights (at £60 a time) in four months. His favourite The Duke of Buckingham sold knighthoods to all comers at £100 a time. It is said that his murder in 1628 caused Charles I to renounce arrangements for this coronation (2nd February 1626) that resulted in this fine. In five years, Charles I raised £173,337 in sales and fines.
Condition: folded browned paper.
