White Spur (esquire)
The historic title White Spur (''alias'' Silver Spur〔Pole, p.225〕) was a rare variety of English esquire in Devonshire.
It was defined by John Weever (d.1632) in his ''Antient Funeral Monuments'' and paraphrased from there by John Prince (1643–1723) in his ''Worthies of Devon'', (within his biography of John Copleston "The Great Copleston", Esquire (1475-1550)).〔John Prince (1643–1723), ''Worthies of Devon'' (1810 edition), p.236〕 Weever classed it as the fourth of five categories of esquires in existence.
The title White Spur was an hereditary title of honour, passed via heirs male of the family, made by creation of the king. The ceremony was as follows: the king would place a Collar of Esses (or SSS) around the recipient's neck and confer upon him a pair of silver spurs.〔Prince, 1810 edition, p.236〕 The holders of this title were thus distinguished from knights of the class ''Eques Auratus'' (literally "Golden Knights"), who were entitled to wear gilt spurs.〔Prince, 1810 edition, p.236〕
==Usage==
The form of usage or style was: "(Surname) the White Spur" (e.g. "Copleston the White Spur").〔Prince, 1810 edition, p.236〕
