[1153] R. Diceto as above, p. 41. Rigord (Duchesne, _Hist.
Franc. Scriptt._, vol. v.), p. 20. Will. Armor., _Gesta Phil.
Aug._ (_ibid._), p. 73. The accounts of the cause of death are
very conflicting. Rigord, Will. Armor. and Gerv. Cant. (Stubbs,
vol. i. 336) say he died of some malady not specified. Gir.
Cambr., _De Instr. Princ._, dist. ii. c. 10 (Angl. Christ.
Soc., p. 34), makes him die “eodem quo et frater antea morbo
acutissimo, sc. febrili calore.” The _Gesta Hen._ as above, and
Rog. Howden (Stubbs), vol. ii. p. 309, attribute his death to
injuries received in a tournament; but the _Gesta_, as we shall
see, have an alternative version.
[1154] Gir. Cambr., Rigord and Will. Armor. as above.
[1155] Cf. Gir. Cambr. as above (pp. 33, 34), with _Gesta Hen._
as above, and Will. Newb., l. iii. c. 7 (Howlett, vol. i. p.
235).
[1156] _Gesta Hen._ as above.
[1157] R. Diceto (Stubbs), vol. ii. p. 41, says they had two
daughters; but I can find no trace of a second.
[1158] _Gesta Hen._ (Stubbs), vol. i. pp. 353, 354.
[1159] Clédat, _Bert. de Born_, pp. 68, 69.
[1160] _Gesta Hen._ as above, p. 345.
[1161] R. Diceto as above, pp. 43, 44.
[1162] Rigord (Duchesne, _Hist. Franc. Scriptt._, vol. v.), p.
23. Will. Armor., _Gesta Phil. Aug._ (_ibid._), pp. 73, 74;
_Philipp._, l. ii. (_ibid._), p. 118.
[1163] _Gesta Hen._ as above, pp. 354, 355. R. Diceto as above,
p. 44.
[1164] Cardinal Octavian and Hugh of Nonant, bishop-elect of
Chester; _Gesta Hen._ (Stubbs), vol. ii. pp. 3, 4; R. Diceto
(as above), p. 47. They landed at Sandwich on Christmas-eve and
kept the feast at Canterbury. Gerv. Cant. (Stubbs), vol. i. p.
346.
[1165] The _Gesta Hen._ as above, p. 4, and Rog. Howden
(Stubbs), vol. ii. p. 317, say they crossed together; R. Diceto
as above, p. 47, to whom we owe the date of Henry’s crossing,
seems to think the legates had preceded him.
