Many English ladles received the accolade, and many more were members of such knightly orders as tbe Garter and St. John. When Mary Cbolmondeley. "tbe bold lady of Cheshire." was knighted by Elizabeth for "her valiant address" on tbe queen taking command at tbe threatened invasion by Spain, did she know that a whole city of Spanish women, tbe gallant women of Tortoaa, had been knighted for saving tbat city from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth bad both been knighted at their coronation, but by tbe time Anne, tbe second Mary and Victoria ascended tbe throne It bad been quite forgotten that, according to English law and use, a woman who filled a man's office acquired all its privileges and was immune from none of its duties.
