"Nisbet says, that the Accedence of Armorie is taken almost verbatim from a translation of an old French MS. by one William Gaxton (Caxton), an Englishman, and dedicated by him to King Richard III.; he also states, that Ferne borrowed much from it and that it was by the use of these two books that he himself was enabled to read that ancient MS. in the Advocates' Library ... The translation which Nisbet alludes to, is probably the order of Chivalry". Moule. Bibliotheca Heraldica
