[655] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 235. The _Ann. Dunst._, a. 1220, say: “Mense Junio apud Eboracum rex Scotiae affidavit sororem Henrici regis Angliae; qua de causa idem rex Angliae remisit ei quinque millia marcarum.” Probably _remisit_ here is a scribe’s error for _promisit_, and five thousand marks was the dowry given by Henry to his sister on her marriage. The little damsel Isabel of England was apparently taken to York that Alexander might see her; _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 234. The Lord of Galloway, Alan, also came to York at this time, and performed the homage which he owed to Henry; _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 420 b. [656] Isabel’s demand is curiously worded: “Precamur vos diligenter quod ei [_i.e._, Hugoni] reddatis jus suum, scilicet Niortum, Castrum Exonense, et de Rokingham, et tria millia et quingentas marcas quas pater vester, maritus quondam noster, nobis legavit” (_Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 115). The mention of Rockingham should probably run “et villam de Rokingham.” The lands bestowed by John upon Isabel in dower consisted of the city of Saintes, Niort, Saumur, La Flèche, Beaufort, Baugy, Château-du-Loir, “Trov” (_Charter Rolls_, pp. 74 b, 75), the city and fair of Exeter, the towns of Ilchester, Wilton, Malmesbury, Chichester, Queenhithe, and Waltham, the honour of Berkhamsted, the county of Rutland, and the town of Rockingham, Falaise, Domfront, Bonneville-sur-Toucques, and all the lands which had belonged to the dowry of his mother Queen Eleanor (_ib._ 128).

[680] “Barones qui praesentes erant in crastino coronationis juraverunt quod castra et wardias suas ad voluntatem regis resignarent, et de firmis suis fidelem compotum ad scaccarium redderent; et si quis regi rebellis resisteret, et infra quadragintas dies post excommunicationem a legato non satisfecerit, quod ad mandatum regis ei bella moverent, ut exhaeredetur sine fine rebellis.” _Ann. Dunst._, a. 1220, p. 57. See Note VI. [681] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 121.
