did homage to the two Henrys for Toulouse,[641] promising to do the
like at Whitsuntide to Richard as duke of Aquitaine, and pledging
himself to military service and yearly tribute.[642]

[636] _Ib._ p. 36.
[637] Rog. Howden (Stubbs, vol. ii. p. 44), in copying from the
_Gesta Hen._ (as above, p. 40) an account of the ratification
of the contract, heads the paragraph “De adventu nunciorum
comitis Mauriensis _in Angliam_.” If he is right, it must have
taken place in April; but he may mean only “to the king of
England.”

[639] _Ibid._ _Gesta Hen._ (as above), pp. 35, 36.
[640] This seems to be the meaning of _Gesta Hen._ (as above),
p. 36: “Venerunt etiam illuc ad regem rex Arragoniæ et comes de
S. Ægidio, qui inimici erant ad invicem, et rex duxit eos secum
usque Limoges, et ibi pacem fecit inter eos.”
[641] _Ibid._ Rog. Howden (as above), p. 45. R. Diceto, as
above, says only “fecit homagium regi Anglorum Henrico patri
regis Henrici.” Geoff. Vigeois, l. i. c. 67 (Labbe, _Nova
Biblioth._, vol. ii. p. 319), gives the date, the first Sunday
in Lent, February 25.
[642] _Gesta Hen._ as above. “Sed quia Ricardus dux Aquitaniæ,
cui facturus esset homagium comes S. Egidii, præsens non erat,
usque ad octavas Pentecostes negotii complementum dilationem
accepit,” says R. Diceto (Stubbs, vol. i. pp. 353, 354). The
_Gesta_ and Rog. Howden make Raymond do homage to the two
Henrys and to Richard all at once. They alone give full details
of the services promised.
