 The new Earl Marshal was not a man to be trifled with, and very shortly made an order, said to have been drafted by Dugdale, with which he required Walkers compliance.Walker was so ill-advised as to petition the Privy Council claiming a right to grant arms independently of the Earl Marshal's control.An adverse report was made on this claim, whereupon the King issued a Declaration of the Authority of the Earl Marshal over the heralds, overriding all Walker's claims.
