[1282] M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._ vol. ii. pp. 189–190. Cf. _Chron. Maj._ vol. ii. p. 667. Matthew gives no precise date; but he implies that it was before Michaelmas; and the _Itinerary_ shows that the only possible date is September 21–22, on the way from Rockingham to Lincoln. [1283] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 382; for date see _Itin._ a. 18. [1284] _Rot. Claus._ vol. i. p. 289; probably one of several small places so called, on the eastern side of the Trent. [1285] Cf. W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 231, and _Itin._ a. 18. [1286] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 381. [1287] Cf. _ib._, W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 231, and _Itin._ a. 18. [1288] _Itin._ a. 18. [1289] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 384. [1290] R. Coggeshall, p. 183. [1291] W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 232. [1292] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 380. [1293] _Hist. des Ducs_, p. 179. [1294] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 370. The leader’s name comes from _Hist. des Ducs_, p. 181; M. Paris, _Chron. Maj._ vol. ii. p. 655, has corrupted it into “Collingham.” See also _Ann. Dunst._ a. 1215. On William de Casinghem’s relations with John see _Rot. Pat._ pp. 185, 186. He figures frequently in the Rolls of the next reign. [1295] _Rot. Pat._ p. 196. [1296] _Hist. des Ducs_, p. 179. [1297] _Ann. Dunst._ a. 1215. [1298] R. Coggeshall, p. 182. Cf. _Hist. des Ducs_, p. 180, and W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 232. [1299] R. Coggeshall, p. 183. Cf. W. Coventry, vol. ii. p. 231. [1300] _Rot. Pat._ p. 199. [1301] Cf. R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 384; M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._ vol. ii. p. 190; and R. Coggeshall, pp. 183, 184. [1302] R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 385; M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._ vol. ii. p. 191. The later legends about the cause of John’s death are not worth notice. [1303] R. Wendover, _l.c._, says John left Swineshead “summo diluculo.” The _Itinerary_ shows him there on October 12 and 13, and at Sleaford on the 14th and 15th. [1304] R. Coggeshall, p. 183. Louis had raised the siege of Dover only on the 14th, but the truce must have been arranged and the messengers despatched at least a day or two earlier, or the latter could not possibly have overtaken John at Sleaford. They must in any case have travelled with marvellous rapidity. [1305] M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._ vol. ii. pp. 191, 192. He relates all this as having occurred on the road from Swineshead to Sleaford, where he makes John die; a characteristic piece of confusion, illustrative of Matthew’s careless way of reading the author on whose work his own is based. The itinerary given by Roger of Wendover, vol. iii. p. 385, is perfectly accurate and perfectly clear. [1306] M. Paris, _Chron. Maj._ vol. ii. p. 668.
