Meaning of Chivalry, court of
This court was anciently held as a court of honor merely, before the earl marshal, and as a criminal court before the lord high constable, jointly with the earl marshal. It had jurisdiction as to contracts and other matters touching deeds of arms or war, as well as pleas of life or member. It also corrected encroachments in matters of coat armor, precedency and other distinctions of families. It is now grown entirely out of use, on account of the feebleness of its jurisdiction and want of power to enforce its judgments, as it could neither fine nor imprison, not being a court of record. 3 Bl. Comm. 68; 4 Broom & H. Comm. 360, note; Wharton.
