 300 KNIGHTLY EFFIGIES AT SANDWICH AND ASH. The Inventory of the goods of Umfrey de Bohun, 1322, printed by Mr. Hudson Turner in the second volume of this work, affords another example : — " iiij. peire de alettes des amies le Counte de Hereford." The Latin name, aletta, appears in the roll in the Tower, containing the account of articles purchased for the tournament in Windsor Park, (> of Ed. I., (1278) printed in Archa3ologia, vol. 17 : "j. par' alett'" (alettarum). And, again : — " It' p' xxxviij par' alett' s' p' q' par' di' uln' card, s' xix uln'." These nineteen ells of cm'da (a kind of cloth), were to cover the leather which formed their substance. Twelve dozen silk cords were provided to attach the ailettes to the shoulders. Sir Roger de Trumpington was one of the knights furnished with ailettes at the Windsor Tournament, and he still wears them in his cfficjies in Cambridgeshire, though in this case ensigned with the armorial bearings of hiS| house.
