If any other officers of the royal household still wear the collar of esses, I shall be glad to be informed. |
Whether at any period the golden collar of esses distinguished the knights of the Garter we know not. |
Plain collars of esses are now worn in the United Kingdom by kings-of-arms, heralds and serjeants-at-arms. |
In fact, to people who lisp and pronounce their esses as though they were teeaitches, it's quite the same. |
There can be no doubt, from the costume, that the effigy is that of a judge, and under his robes is visible the Collar of esses. |
During the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III the collar of esses was frowned upon, to say the least. |
