This would be A.D. 66.] [Footnote 393: It is less generally known than it should be that the head of St. Paul as well as of St. Peter has always figured on the leaden seal attached to a Papal Bull.] [Footnote 394: Tennyson, 'Holy Grail,' 53. This thorn, a patriarchal tree of vast dimensions, was destroyed during the Reformation. But many of its descendants exist about England (propagated from cuttings brought by pilgrims), and still retain its unique season for flowering. In all other respects they are indistinguishable from common thorns.] [Footnote 395: See also William of Malmesbury, 'Hist. Regum,' § 20.] [Footnote 396: See p. 62.] [Footnote 397: See Introduction to Tennyson's 'Holy Grail' (G.C. Macaulay), p. xxix.] [Footnote 398: See Bp. Browne, 'Church before Augustine,' p. 46.] [Footnote 399: Chaucer, 'Sumpnour's Tale.'] [Footnote 400: Epig. xi. 54: "Claudia coeruleis ... Rufina Britannis Edita."] [Footnote 401: See p. 141.] [Footnote 402: Epig. v. 13.] [Footnote 403: Tacitus, 'Ann.' xiii. 32.] [Footnote 404: See p. 69.] [Footnote 405: Lanciani, 'Pagan and Christian Rome,' p. 110.

The 'Catalogus' was composed early in the 4th century, but the incident is a later insertion.] [Footnote 411: See p. 225.] [Footnote 412: He is mentioned by Gildas, along with Julius and Aaron of Caerleon. These last were already locally canonized in the 9th century, as the 'Liber Landavensis' testifies; and the sites of their respective churches could still be traced, according to Bishop Godwin, in the 17th century.] [Footnote 413: Eborius of York, Restitutus of London, and Adelfius of "Colonia Londinensium." The last word is an obvious misreading. Haddan and Stubbs ('Concilia,' p. 7) suggest _Legionensium_, i.e. Caerleon.] [Footnote 414: It is more reasonable to assume this than to imagine, with Mr. French, that these three formed the entire British episcopate. And there is reason to suppose that York, London, and Caerleon were metropolitan sees.] [Footnote 415: Canon x.: De his qui conjuges suas in adulterio deprehendunt, et iidem sunt fideles, et prohibentur nubere; Placuit ... ne viventibus uxoribus suis, licet adulteris, alias accipiant.
