[669] The king speaks of her as Maud de la Haye, _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 107. But she witnesses a charter of her husband by the title of “domina Matiltis de Sancto Walerico,” Round, _Cal. Doc. France_, vol. i. p. 461. See the curious account of her--“fille fu Bernard de Saint Waleri,” etc.--in _Hist. des Ducs de Normandie_, pp. 111, 112. [670] _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 107. John was at Gloucester in 1208 April 22 and 23, and at Hereford April 24 to 28; _Itin._ a. 9. [671] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 225. He brings in this story in connexion with the general demand for hostages from the barons in 1208; but his own account of the words used by William de Braose shows that he was aware there was a special ground for the demand in De Braose’s case. [672] _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 108. [673] _Rot. Pat._ p. 86 b. [674] _Foedera_, _l.c._ [675] “Mès j’ai herbergié mon seignor, Si comme faire le deveie,” _Hist. de G. le Mar._ vv. 14214–15. How De Braose was “lord” of the Marshal, I can find nothing to show. [676] _Ib._ vv. 14137–52. [677] _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 108. John was at Cross-by-the-Sea, close to Pembroke, from June 3 to June 16 inclusive, and at Crook on June 20. _Itin._ a. 12. [678] Cf. _Itin._ a. 12 and _Hist. de G. le Mar._ vv. 14259–66. [679] June 30, Greenoge; July 2 and 3, Trim; July 4 and 5, Kells. _Itin._ a. 12. [680] _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 108. [681] _Ann. Cambr._ a. 1210, Rolls edition, pp. 66, 67, note. [682] _Hist. de G. le Mar._ vv. 14270–78. John was at Carrickfergus July 19 to 28; _Itin._ a. 12. [683] _Foedera_, _l.c._ [684] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 234. [685] His itinerary from Carrickfergus is: July 29, Holywood; July 31, Ballymore; August 2, 3, Down; 4, Banbridge; 5, Carlingford; 8, 9, Drogheda; 9, 10, Duleek; 10, 11, Kells; 11, Fowre; 12, Granard; 14, Rathwire; 16, Castle Bret; 18–24, Dublin. _Itin._ a. 12. [686] “_Reguli._” The _Hist. des Ducs de Normandie_, pp. 112, 113, tells how the king of Connaught came to John’s “service” at Dublin, and how John while at Carrickfergus tried to catch the king of “Kenelyon” in a trap, but was outwitted by the Irishman. [687] R. Wendover, vol. iii. pp. 233, 234. [688] This assertion, adopted by many modern writers, seems to have been first definitely made by Sir John Davies, in his _Discoverie of the true causes why Ireland was never entirely subdued_, etc. (1612), p. 121: “King John made xii. shires in Leinster and Mounster; namely, Dublin, Kildare, Meth, Uriel, Catherlogh, Kilkenny, Wexford, Waterford, Corke, Limeric, Kerrie, and Tipperary.” [689] Ware, _Antiq._ c. v. p. 33. [690] Patent granted by John to the citizens of Waterford, July 3, a. r. 7 (1205), according to Ware, _l.c._ [691] _Rot. Claus._ vol. i. p. 218.
