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. 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.
