[1096] “Tres aemuli mei quos ex causis evidentissimis suspectos habebam”--“qui capitales inimici mei erant.” He does not give their names. Two of them were unquestionably Hubert and Stephen; the third may have been Earl William of Salisbury. [1097] _Quer. Falc._, pp. 266, 267. [1098] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 461. [1099] _Quer. Falc._, p. 267. [1100] For the story of the surrender I have combined the accounts given in _Ann. Dunst._, p. 88, R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 97, and R. Coggeshall, p. 207. Cf. also W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 254, and _Quer. Falc._, _ib._ p. 267. [1101] _Ann. Dunst._, _l.c._ [1102] R. Wend., _l.c._ [1103] _Ann. Dunst._ and _Quer. Falc._, _ll.cc._ [1104] See Note XI. [1105] _Quer. Falc._, p. 268. [1106] Roger of Wendover, vol. iv. p. 98, says _fratres suos_, but Matthew Paris, _Hist. Angl._, vol. ii. p. 265, who relates this scene on the authority of an eyewitness, the Bishop of Coventry, speaks of only one brother (William), and so does Falkes himself. [1107] _Quer. Falc._, p. 268. [1108] M. Paris, _l.c._ [1109] R. Wend. and M. Paris, _ll.cc._ The Barnwell annalist, W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 254, places this interview at Elstow. [1110] R. Wend. and M. Paris, _ll.cc._ [1111] Stoke Courcy was part of the heritage of his wife. She and her elder sister, Joan, wife of Hugh de Neville, were co-heiresses to the lands of their father, Warin FitzGerold, who had been chamberlain to Henry II, and who was now dead. See _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. pp. 10, 89 b. [1112] _Ann. Dunst._, pp. 88, 89. [1113] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 462. [1114] “Jurato autem stare mandatis Ecclesiae, in ruborem et confusionem meam, Londoniis in die dedicationis ejusdem Sanctae Trinitatis, affectata presentia plurimorum, idem archiepiscopus nudari me faciens, sermonem ad populum facto ... tandem absolutum post verba multa et probra me dimisit.” _Quer. Falc._, p. 268. We are not obliged to accept Falkes’s description of Stephen’s discourse as containing “blasphemias infinitas,” nor to believe that the words which he proceeds to give as a quotation from it (_ib._) were actually spoken by the Primate. His date--“die dedicationis ejusdem S. Trinitatis”--is absolutely unintelligible to me; but the safe-conduct given him on 19th August was to last till the 25th; and 25th August is also the date of his final act of surrender, which would no doubt be made directly after his absolution. That he was absolved before he made it is stated in the deed itself.
