John was at Fremantle May 17–19; thence he went to Silchester, May 19; Winchester, 19, 20; Odiham, 21, 22; Windsor, 22, 23; Winchester again, 23; _Itin._ a. 16. [1016] _Hist. des Ducs_, pp. 148, 149.

The authentic details of John’s movements at this time are of some importance in view of Ralph of Coggeshall’s assertion (p. 172) that he was just then so overcome with terror “ut jam extra Windleshoram nusquam progredi auderet.” [1027] _Rot. Pat._ pp. 142 b, 143. [1028] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 301. [1029] “In prato qui vocatur Runemad,” R. Coggeshall, p. 172. [1030] _Ib._ [1031] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 302. [1032] Stubbs, _Const.

[1035] _Rot. Pat._ p. 143. The “die Veneris” which occurs three times in this writ is in each case an unquestionable, though unaccountable, error for “die Lunae.” [1036] Art. Bar. c. 49. [1037] Art. Bar. c. 49; Magna Charta, c. 61. [1038] M. Charta, c. 63. [1039] _Ib._ c. 61. [1040] M. Paris, _Chron.

[1042] _Ib._ cc. 15, 16, 60. [1043] The twenty-five were of course all “Northerners” in the political sense; see the list in M. Paris, _Chron. Maj._ vol. ii. p. 604. [1044] The list of these thirty-eight is headed “Obsecutores et Observatores,” and ends thus: “Isti omnes juraverunt quod obsequerentur mandato viginti quinque baronum.” Another MS. adds: “Omnes isti juraverunt cogere si opus esset ipsos XXV barones ut rectificarent regem. Et etiam cogere ipsum si mutato animo forte recalcitraret,” M. Paris, _Chron. Maj._ vol. ii. pp. 605, 606. Considering the whole context, I think there can be little doubt that “rectificare regem”--though an odd way of expressing it--really means here “to do right to the king.”
