 Sir Edward Bysshe, who had been intruded as Garter under the Commonwealth of England was removed from that office and Walker was restored to his post.Walker then showed arrogance and asserted his claims — justified or unjustified — with so much obstinacy and anger that he threw away his reputation in a vain attempt to raise himself above control.In 1646, he had possessed from Charles I a special warrant which empowered him to grant augmentations of arms, incorporating royal emblems, to the King's loyal adherents and this power was confirmed to him by Charles II in 1660.
