List of tilters participating in the entertainment, together with papers relating to Robert Carr's creation as Baron of Branspeth in Nov. 1613. The papers are bound in a folio-sized volume of miscellanea relating to court and parliamentary events such as marriages and funerals; also some more general documentation relating to matters of precedence, as well as parliamentary and chancery procedings. Some of these MSS are in the hand of William Camden, probably including this one.
