John was at Nottingham September 9–15, and reached London on the 20th, after passing through “Salvata,” Geddington, Northampton, and St. Albans, _Itin._ a. 14. The assertion of the _Ann. Margan._ (a. 1211 for 1212) that in his terror at the discovery of the meditated treason he “shut himself up for fifteen days in Nottingham castle” is thus shown to be false. [764] _Itin._ a. 14.

Coggeshall, _l.c._, and _Ann. Dunst._ a. 1211 (for 1212) name as one of these victims a clerk called Geoffrey of Norwich, whom M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._ vol. ii. p. 126 and _Chron. Maj._ vol. ii. p. 527, confuses with the archdeacon whose fate is related by Roger of Wendover, vol. iii. p. 229. See above, p. 136. [774] R. Coggeshall, p. 164. [775] Cf. _Rot.

Coventry, _l.c._ [777] From the tenour of these letters it is clear that neither of the persons addressed had been in England recently. We must therefore suppose that an order countermanding the muster at Chester had reached the barons in Ireland before they set out to obey the royal summons, and that for the muster at Nottingham their presence had not been required.
