Palamore is the variant form of Palmer. An incessant pilgrim-one who spent all his time in visiting holy shrines, whereas the ordinary pilgrim returned to his usual course of life as soon as his particular expiatory journey was finished. "Palmers, (a baculis palmarum ) from the staff of the palm, which they used to bear when returning from the Holy War," says Richardson.
"The faded palm-branch in his hand,
Showed pilgrim froin the Holy Land,"
says Sir Walter, which is the more correct statement; for the Palmer was rather a devotee than an ordinary Crusader. The distinction between Pilgrim and Palmer was not always strictly observed. Thus in the medieval romance of "Horn" we find the expression "Palmer-pilgrim" applied to one individual.

While my soul, like a quiet palmer,
Travelleth towards the land of Heaven."
