[807] In March 1215 William Mauclerc, John’s agent at Rome, writes to John that there have come thither some envoys sent by the barons to complain to the Pope, “cum ipse sit Dominus Angliae,” that John refuses them their rights, etc., and he continues: “Supplicant autem Domino Papae quod super his eis provideret, cum satis constet ei quod ipsi audacter pro libertate Ecclesiae ad mandatum suum se vobis opponerent, et quod vos annuum redditum Domino Papae et Ecclesiae Romanae concessistis, et alios honores quos ei et Romanae Ecclesiae exhibuistis, non sponte nec ex devotione, imo ex timore _et per eos coactus_ fecistis.” _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 120.

Dunst._, which place the return of the exiles under a wrong year, 1212, say the king met them “in monte juxta _Porecestre_.” This is surely an error for Winchester. Nothing is more likely than that John should have gone to meet them on S. Giles’s Hill. [824] Cf. R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 261; _Ann. Dunst._ a. 1212; and W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 213. [825] _Rot.
