[14] The _Hist. des Ducs_, p. 181, and the Annals of Margan, Tewkesbury, Winchester, and Waverley, a. 1216, say that Henry was crowned by Gualo; the _Hist. G. le Mar._, ll. 15329–31, says “Wales la messe li chanta, Li legaz, e sil corona, O li evesques qui la furent”; and the official letter written in Henry’s name to the Justiciar of Ireland says he was crowned “by the hands of Gualo the Cardinal legate and the bishops then present” (_Foedera_, I. i. p. 145). Probably, however, they all mean merely what is expressly, though awkwardly, stated by the Merton chronicler--“Coronatus ... a domino Syvalone legato ... assistentibus sibi domino Petro Wintoniensi episcopo qui eum inunxit et coronam imposuit capiti, ut dicunt” &c. (Petit-Dutaillis, _Vie de Louis VIII._, p. 514), and more clearly by the Barnwell annalist: “Imposuit autem ei manus ex jussu legati episcopus Wintoniensis” (W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 233). Roger of Wendover (vol. iv. p. 2) says Henry was crowned and anointed by Bishop Peter; Matthew Paris (_Chron. Maj._, vol. iii. p. 2) that Peter of Winchester and Jocelyn of Bath crowned him; the Dunstable annalist (_Ann. Monast._, vol. iii. p. 48) that he was crowned by Gualo’s authority, but by the hands of the Bishops of Winchester, Worcester, and Exeter. Wykes’s account of the coronation is obviously fantastic, except in one detail, that of the “sertum quoddam,” which is no doubt correct, as certainly no real crown could be available. [15] _Hist. G. le Mar._, ll. 15333–46. This corrects the statement of R. Wendover, _l.c._, “duxerunt regem ... regalibus indutum ad mensam.” [16] _Chron. Merton_, _l.c._ [17] Winchester, Worcester, Chester (or Coventry), Bath, Exeter, and Meath; see R. Wend., vol. iv. p. 1, _Ann. Wav._, a. 1216, _Ann. Dunst._ a. 1215, p. 48, and _Chron. Merton_, _l.c._ [18] R. Wend., _l.c._ [19] _Ann. Wav._, a. 1216. This Chronicle and Roger both add the Earl of Chester, but they are certainly wrong. [20] R. Wend., _l.c._ [21] _Hist.
