of “new men” belonged Geoffrey Trussebut, Everard de Ros, Guy de Vere, Bertram de Verdon, Philip de Kime and his brother Simon.[703] [694] In _Gesta Hen._ (Stubbs), vol. i. p. 51, note 4, the names are given as “David et Evayn reges Walliæ”--a blunder probably caused by the writer’s greater familiarity with David, owing to his later family alliance with the English king. In the present war, however, Rees proved the more active ally of the two, as we shall see later. [695] It will however appear later that Gloucester’s fidelity was somewhat doubtful. [696] William de Mandeville is constantly found, throughout his life, in the king’s immediate company. See Eyton, _Itin. Hen. II. passim._ [697] All these names are in the list in the _Gesta Hen._ (Stubbs), vol. i. p. 51, note 4. [698] _Ib._ p. 65. Rog. Howden (Stubbs), vol. ii. p. 60. Will. Newb., l. ii. c. 33 (Howlett, vol. i. p. 184). [699] Escheated on the death of Duke Conan of Britanny. [700] _Gesta Hen._ as above, pp. 51, note 4, 66. [701] _Ib._ pp. 65, 66. Will. Newb. as above. [702] _Gesta Hen._ as above, p. 51, note 4. [703] _Ibid._ The Trussebuts, de Roses and de Veres appear under Henry I. Bertram de Verdon and Philip de Kime were employed in the Curia Regis and Exchequer under Henry II.; see Eyton, _Itin. Hen. II._, pp. 185, 76, 130, etc. Another name among the loyalists in the _Gesta Hen._ (as above)--that of Richard Louvetot--seems to have got in by mistake; cf. _ib._ p. 57, where he appears among the rebels at Dol.
