[1039] R. Coggeshall, p. 204. It is at this time, in 1215, that Nicolas, Colin, Gilbert, and John de Bréauté first appear (see above, footnote 1018). Nicolas and Colin were clerks. William, “vadlettus noster”--_i.e._ a page or young squire of the king--had received in July, 1212, a grant of land in Leicestershire previously held by “his uncle, William de Oville,” “ad se sustentandum in servicio nostro quamdiu nobis placuerit,” _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 120. [1040] See above, pp. 223, 224. [1041] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 145. [1042] “Quem ... Johannes rex ... comiti parificavit, donando illi comitissam de Wyth,” W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 253; although Margaret never was a countess, since Baldwin de Rivers died before his father. [1043] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. pp. 175, 221, 222. [1044] R. Wend., vol. iv. pp. 10, 11. Cf. M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._, vol. ii. p. 203. [1045] “[Falco] prosperis successibus undique elevatus, parem in regno habere dedignabatur,” R. Coggeshall, p. 205; “cum videret statum suum supra modum subito prosperatum, dedignabatur habere parem; erat enim ei persaepe in operibus frequentibus pro ratione voluntas,” W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 253. [1046] _Quer. Falc._, pp. 263, 264. [1047] _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. pp. 72 b, 73. These three writs are entered on the back of membrane 17 of the Close Roll 9 Hen. III (October, 1224–October, 1225), and thus appear to belong to April–May, 1225; but this cannot be their true date; Falkes was outlawed and out of England long before April, 1225. The scribe has put them on a wrong roll. With the chronological data for the year 1224 they fit in perfectly. Falkes says he was accused to the King “triduo post pacem,” _i.e._, three days after peace was made in London between Hubert and his opponents (cf. above, pp. 216, 217). In 1224 the King was in London, 21st April–26th May (_Close Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 593 b–601; _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 436–441). Combining this fact with Falkes’s statement and with the writ of 26th April, we see that the “peace” must have been made not earlier than 21st April, and not later than the 23rd. The Monday after the octave of Trinity in that year, 17th June, was the morrow of the day fixed for the re-assembling of the Council at Northampton; see above, p. 222. [1048] _Ann. Dunst._, p. 90. [1049] _Quer. Falc._, p. 264. [1050] “Accidit autem quod Henricus de Braibroc ... improbe exigeret a Falcasio et suis quasdam exactiones et reragia quae debebant; ex qua exactionum improbitate commoti violenter ceperunt praedictum,” &c. R. Coggeshall, p. 206. [1051] See Note IX. [1052] _Quer. Falc._, _l.c._; _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. pp. 225, 226; W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 253; R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 94; R. Coggeshall, _l.c._; _Ann. Dunst._, p. 86. The date is from _Quer. Falc._, p. 265. The _Contin. Gerv. Cant._, vol. ii. p. 113, says the capture took place at Huntingdon, which seems geographically impossible. [1053] R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 95.
