[1054] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 226; R. Coggeshall and R. Wend., _ll.cc._; _Ann. Dunst._, pp. 86, 90. [1055] _Quer. Falc._, p. 264. [1056] In the _Querimonia_, _l.c._ we read: “Cujus captio postquam mihi fuerat nunciata, ego apud Northamptoniam propter servitium regis cum aliis baronibus terrae conveneram, ad castrum de Bedeford pro exquirendo fratre meo ... tam cito perveni.” But the King, in a letter written a few weeks later, says Falkes refused to come before the Council when summoned to answer for Braybroke’s capture, “cum alias teneatur ratione possessionum magnarum et officii maximi quam tenuit in curia nostra” (see above, footnote 1037) “ad nos in conciliis nostris venire non vocatus” (_Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 226). This seems to imply that Falkes had not attended the Northampton meeting at all. [1057] _Quer. Falc._, pp. 264, 265. [1058] Cf. _ib._, R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 95, and W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 253. [1059] R. Wend., _l.c._ Cf. Hubert’s version of all this in _Responsiones_, pp. 67, 68, and the King’s in _Roy. Lett._, _l.c._; both in substantial agreement with Roger’s. [1060] In 1221; see above, p. 180. [1061] _Quer. Falc._, p. 265. [1062] _Quer. Falc._, p. 265; R. Wend., vol. iv. pp. 95, 96. Roger gives an absurd date, “Decimo sexto kalendas Julii, die videlicet Jovis proximo post octavas Trinitatis.” It was the Thursday after the octave of Trinity, but it was 20th, not 16th, June. [1063] Petit-Dutaillis, pp. 236–238. [1064] Cf. _Chron. Turonense_, in _Rer. Gall. Scriptt._, vol. xviii. p. 305, with R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 93, R. Coggeshall, p. 208, and the two contradictory versions of Savaric’s conduct given in _Ann. Dunst._, pp. 86 and 91. [1065] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 236; Petit-Dutaillis, pp. 250, 251. [1066] W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 253. [1067] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 226. [1068] _Responsiones_, pp. 66, 67. [1069] _Quer. Falc._, p. 269. [1070] With treason of such a nature as that of which the Barnwell annalist says “some people” accused Falkes--collusion with a foreign enemy of the King--Falkes was never publicly charged at all. [1071] When once the siege of Bedford was begun, and still more in after-days, of course, King and Justiciar were alike more inclined to magnify than to minimize the whole affair; but this was wisdom after the event.
