[998] The _Itin._, 413, says fifteen, but R. Coggeshall, 46,
says six horses and one mule. Bohadin—after remarking “I was not
there, thank God!”—says some who were there told him the Christian
knights numbered only nine, or at most seventeen (337); he, or his
informants, doubtless reckoned as “knights” only those who were
horsed. According to the _Itin._, 420, Richard gained two more
horses, as soon as he entered the town, by killing their Turkish
riders.

la baniere le roi,” _Est._, ll. 11432-4. “Serviens probissimus
Hernicus Teutonicus, regis signifer,” _Itin._, 415. “Rex ...
assumptis secum sex strenuis militibus cum regio vexillo,” R.
Coggeshall, 55.
[1000] _Itin._, 420. This writer reduces the king’s mounted followers
at this time to two, which of course is absurd.

[1019] “Saturday, 26 Rajab” says Bohadin, 338, but 26 Rajab was a
Friday.

[1026] “Houat,” Bohadin, 342. Stubbs, in a note to _Itin._, 428,
suggests this identification, which is rendered highly probable by
the mention in R. Devizes, 69, of Hubert as concerned in the making
of the truce.
