Page 123, third footnote--mentions the word Alner, but
doesn't define it. "An Illustrated Dictionary of Words
Used in Art and Archaeology" by J. W. Mollett defines it
as: "Aulmoniere. The Norman name for the pouch, bag, or
purse appended to the girdle of noble persons, and
derived from the same root as 'alms' and 'almoner'. It
was more or less ornamented and hung from long laces of
silk or gold; it was sometimes called Alner." The
transcriber has added 'pouch, bag or purse' as a
definition.
Page 129--There is an obscured word in the line, "With
steven f-ll- stoute". Comparison with other sources of
the same verse show the word to be fulle, which has been
used in this etext.
Page 175--the footnote marker in the text was missing.
The transcriber has checked the referenced text, and
inserted a marker in what appears to be the correct
place.
Page 257--the speaker of the line "Her neele" was
obscured. It appears that the speaker should be Tib, and
this has been inserted.
