[786] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 68. This authority says “post Pentecosten”; the Barnwell annalist (W. Cov., _l.c._) places the capture of Peter de Maulay “in festo Pentecostes,” which, like Falkes’s narrative (which will be dealt with later) leaves it uncertain whether the date meant is Whit-Sunday or merely Whitsuntide. [787] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 321. [788] _Querimonia Falcasii_, W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 260, and _Ann. Dunst._, p. 68. [789] “De qua captione non ante dictus nobilis evadere potuit quam ea castra quae sibi tam a domino Guala quam etiam a patre domini regis commissa fuerant restitueret,” says Falkes (_Quer. Falc._, _l.c._). But the records show that Peter really resigned nothing, except Corfe, until 20th November (1221), and that he retained Sherborne till 30th January, 1222 (_Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 325). On the words about Gualo see Note VI. [790] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 75. [791] W. Cov., vol. ii. pp. 250, 251. [792] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 320. [793] _Ib._ p. 321; cf. _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 481 b. [794] See footnote 789 above. [795] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 68. [796] See below, p. 176. [797] See above, pp. 73, 74. [798] Early in the year it seems to have been arranged that Henry and Alexander should meet at Lincoln on 7th June; but the place and day were changed to York and 14th June (_Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 476), and the meeting was ultimately postponed till 19th June. [799] _Ann. Dunst._, pp. 68, 69. Hubert (and of course Henry) was at Oxford 9th June, Northampton 11th, Nottingham 14th, Blyth 15th, and York 19th; _Close Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 461 b, 462. [800] _Chron. Melrose_ and _Chron. Lanercost_, a. 1221. M. Paris, _Chron. Maj._, vol. iii. p. 66, gives the date as 25th June, which the _Close Roll_, vol. i. p. 463, shows to be incompatible with the movements of the English court. Alexander’s settlement of dowerlands upon Joan--“sponsae nostrae dilectae”--is dated York, 18th June; _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 309. [801] W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 249. [802] Cf. _ib._ p. 250, and _Flores Hist._, vol. ii. p. 172; the date comes from the latter. [803] He went after Michaelmas, 1220, _Ann. Dunst._, p. 64, “propter quaedam negotia Anglicanae Ecclesiae,” W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 246. [804] He reached England about 15th August; W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 250. [805] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 74. [806] The Continuator of Florence of Worcester, a. 1221, (p. 173), says that Pandulf “a legationis officio revocatur.” This phrase need not exclude a voluntary resignation; he may have been recalled at his own request. No papal letters on the subject are extant; it is probable that Pandulf, like Gualo, asked permission to lay down an office which seems never to have been much to his taste; and it is even possible that he may have made his request through Stephen.
