[703] The _Brut_ (a. 1210) says that the host assembled at “Caerleon,” and returned to England “about Whitsuntide.” It places the campaign in 1210, but this is obviously a year too early. Cf. _Ann. Cambr._ a. 1211, and W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 203. John was at Chester (_i.e._ “Caerleon”) on May 16 and 17, 1211, the Tuesday and Wednesday before Whitsunday; _Itin._ a. 13. The Itinerary shows that the expedition had not taken place earlier than this; and from May 17 to August 29 there is a blank. [704] _Ann. Cambr._ a. 1211. Cf. _Brut_, a. 1210. [705] _Brut_, a. 1210. [706] W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 203. [707] July 8, R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 235. The _Brut_, _l.c._, says he “returned to Wales about the calends of August.” [708] Fourteen “or more,” according to _Ann. Cambr._ a. 1211. [709] _Brut_, a. 1210. Cf. _Ann. Cambr._, _Margan._, _Tewkesb._, _Winton._, _Waverl._ a. 1211; W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 203, and R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 235. Roger says John was back at Whitchurch on August 15. [710] W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 203. [711] Cf. _Canterbury Chronicle_, in Stubbs’s Gerv. Cant. vol. ii. pp. cvi., cvii., cxi., cxii.; Gerv. Cant. vol. ii. p. 106; R. Coggeshall, p. 164; _Ann. Winton._, _Waverl._, and _Dunst._ a. 1210. The date comes from _Itin._ a. 11. [712] _Ann. Waverl._ a. 1211. [713] R. Wendover, vol. iii. pp. 234, 235. He gives no date; but John was in London, seemingly for the only time in 1210, at the end of October; he dates from the Tower on October 27. _Itin._ a. 12. [714] _Ann. Dunst._ a. 1210. Cf. R. Coggeshall, p. 164, and _Ann. Waverl._ a. 1210. [715] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 235. [716] M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._ vol. ii. p. 12. Cf. W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 201, and R. Coggeshall, p. 163. [717] Cf. _Ann. Winton._ and _Waverl._ a. 1211. [718] R. Wendover, vol. iii. pp. 235, 236. [719] The second appendix to Innoc. III. _Epp._ l. xv. No. 234--“Forma quidem est talis” (printed also, under the heading “Instructiones legato traditae,” in _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 109)--is obviously a copy, enclosed in a letter of 1213, of the original commission issued to Pandulf and Durand in 1211. See below, p. 179. [720] The day comes from _Ann. Burton._ a. 1211, and we know from the _Itinerary_, a. 13, that John was at Northampton on August 29. The _Ann. Waverl._ date this conference a year too late, viz. 1212. Cf. W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 204; R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 235, and _Ann. Margan._, _Tewkesb._, _Winton._, _Oseney_, and _Worcester_, a. 1211. [721] _Ann. Burton_, a. 1211. Cf. _Ann. Waverl._ a. 1212. [722] _Ann. Burton_, a. 1211. [723] _Ann. Waverl._ a. 1211. Cf. R.
