Philip had communicated to him a letter in which Henry proposed to make peace by marrying Adela to John and constituting the latter heir to all his dominions except England and Normandy.[1180] If this scheme really existed, it was foiled by Philip’s own act; and when Henry and his elder son met soon afterwards at Angers, their differences were apparently settled for the moment by Richard’s reinstatement in the dukedom of Aquitaine; for we are told that he not only returned to his duty, but publicly renewed his homage to the king.[1181] [1166] _Gesta Hen._ (as above), p. 5.

These two latter make the year 1186, which is nonsense, as they both expressly say that the child was posthumous. [1168] _Gesta Hen._ (Stubbs), vol. ii. p. 6. [1169] Rigord (Duchesne, _Hist. Franc.

Armor., _Gesta Phil. Aug._ (_ibid._), p. 75, and _Philipp._, l. ii. (_ibid._), p. 120, turns the truce into an abject submission of Henry and Richard. Gerald says that one of the conditions of the truce was that Auvergne, which Philip had conquered, should remain in his hands during the period. But none of the other authorities mention Auvergne at all at this time; and Gerald’s statement seems incompatible with the French accounts of Philip’s attack upon Auvergne, as if upon a hostile country, in 1188 (Rigord, as above, p. 27; Will. Armor., _ibid._, pp. 74, 122). Gerald and Rigord are however almost equally untrustworthy for details, and especially for chronology. [1177] See Clédat, _Bert. de Born_, pp. 71, 72. [1178] Gerv.
