Arrayer

Arrayer

The term arrayers is used is some ancient English statutes, for an officer who had a commission of array, to put soldiers of a country in a condition for military service.

Though obsolete by the 17th century, the system was revived by Charles I in 1642 (in opposition to the 1641 Militia Ordinance that gave Parliament control of raising troops) in order to muster a Royalist army at the onset of the English Civil War.
