[1131] “Uxorem cum patrimonio sibi restitui,” _Ann. Dunst._, p. 89. The “patrimony” referred to must be Margaret’s, since Falkes had never had or been entitled to any of his own. Having been absolutely penniless for two years and a half, he was now “multis debitis oneratus” (_ib._), and considering Margaret’s conduct in September, 1224, it would be only natural if he valued his claims upon her chiefly on their pecuniary side. [1132] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 547; date, 11th July, 1226. This letter to Stephen is the one referred to above, footnote 1118. [1133] The _Ann. Dunst._, p. 89, say he died “ab Urbe rediens, apud Sanctum Ciriacum.” So do Roger of Wendover, vol. iv. p. 137, and Matthew Paris, _Hist. Angl._, vol. ii. p. 291; the latter adds “infectus veneno quod in pisce quodam ei dabatur.” [1134] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. pp. 313, 314, 12th September, 1227. [1135] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 465, 468, 469, 29th August, 7th and 9th September. [1136] _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 626 b, 20th October. [1137] _Ib._ p. 632 b, 6th–8th September; cf. _Ann. Dunst._ (a. 1225), p. 92. [1138] R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 99. [1139] Cf. _ib._ and _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. pp. 22, 25, &c. [1140] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 496; cf. _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. p. 22. This tallage, according to _Ann. Wav._, a. 1225, brought in five thousand marks. [1141] R. Wend., vol. iv. pp. 99, 100. Cf. _Ann. Dunst._, p. 93. [1142] _Statutes of Realm, Charters of Liberties_, pp. 22–25. [1143] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. pp. 237, 238. [1144] According to the _Chron. Turon._ (_R.G.S._ vol. xviii.), p. 307, Savaric went to England (cf. _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 477, _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. pp. 8 b, 9) to ask for succour, “sed Anglici, de ejus adjutorio diffidentes, eum latenter capere tentaverunt.” He however escaped, and at Christmas did homage to Louis. [1145] _Roy. Lett._, vol. i. p. 239. [1146] R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 101. [1147] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 507; cf. _Ann. Wav._ and _Dunst._, a. 1225. [1148] “Dederat ei namque rex, ante recessum suum ab Anglia, comitatum Cornubiae cum tota Pictavia; unde ab omnibus comes Pictaviae vocabatur, titulusque literarum suarum ‘comes Pictaviae et Cornubiae.’” M. Paris, _Hist. Angl._, vol. ii. p. 270, adding in margin: “Clam dederat ei Wasconiam et incartaverat.” [1149] _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 503, _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. pp. 10 b, 11, 21, 22 (1st and 3rd January, 13th March). By 21st March the fleet was found to be too large for its purpose, and many vessels were dismissed; _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 514. [1150] R. Wend., _l.c._; cf. _Ann. Dunst._, p. 94, and _Ann. Winton._, a. 1225. This last authority says they went “about Mid-Lent” (9th March), but Roger’s date agrees better with the Rolls. He says there were forty knights; the _Ann. Winton._ say seventy. [1151] Cf. _Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. pp. 513–516, and _Close Rolls_, vol. ii. pp. 16 b, 19 b.
