[860] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 81; R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 86; cf. R. Coggeshall, p. 197. The letters accrediting the three prelates to the French Primate and to Louis were issued on 28th July; _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 406; cf. _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 556. [861] _Pat. Rolls_, _l.c._, 23rd July. [862] _Close Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 569 b, 570, 27th July and 1st August. [863] _Ib._ pp. 556 b, 557, 570, 1st August. [864] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 380. [865] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 379, 30th July. [866] _Ib._ p. 380. [867] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 81. [868] He was crowned on 6th August; _Ann. Wav._, a. 1223. [869] This is Ralf of Coggeshall’s account of Louis’s reply: “Coronatus antequam nuncii praedicti ad eum pervenirent, de tali petitione responsum dare distulit, inducias petens de responso usque ad octabas Omnium Sanctorum,” p. 197. Roger of Wendover (vol. iv. p. 86) and the _Ann. Dunst._ (p. 82) represent Louis as giving an answer which must, it would seem, have put an end to all further hope of agreement, and which I therefore think must really have been made not to the bishops who went to him in August, but to another set of episcopal envoys who went in October, as will be seen later. [870] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 352. [871] Cf. _Brut_, a. 1222, p. 311, and _Ann. Dunst._, a. 1223, p. 82. [872] “Quia non habemus consilium quod illud ultra terminum praedictum teneatis.” _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 363. [873] “Leulinus vero interea duo castra sita in margia North Walliae, quae fuerunt Fulconis filii Warini, funditus destruxit,” _Ann. Dunst._, _l.c._ That this account of Llywelyn’s doings in the winter of 1222–1223 is correct, and that the two castles were Kinnerley and Whittington, appears from the Rolls, though the same writer’s story (_ib._) of a war which he represents as immediately preceding the Marshal’s visit to Ireland is surely nothing but a distorted version of the events of 1220: “Eadem tempestate Leulinus, regulorum Gualliae major, regis Angliae sororius, petiit a rege Angliae auxilium ut quaedam castra per Walenses injuste regno Angliae subtracta posset in statum debitum restituere. Habito vero auxilio, dicta castra cepit et destruxit et terram ipsam sibi retinuit.” Cf. above, p. 161. Roger of Wendover (vol. iv. p. 85) also confuses the Welsh war of 1220 with that of 1223, and has added some further confusions of his own. The Dunstable writer is not quite exact in his account of the ownership of the two castles really taken in 1223; according to _Close Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 554 and 569, Whittington belonged to Fulk FitzWarine, Kinnerley to Baldwin of Hodnet. [874] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 82. The court was at Shrewsbury on 7th March, and at Bridgenorth on 10th March; thence it moved southward along the border to Worcester, Gloucester, and Bristol, and back through Wiltshire to London. _Close Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 536 b–538 b; _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 367–369.
