[349] _E.g._, his adhesion to the “young king” when the latter was in rebellion against Henry II., his refusal to do homage to Richard for his Irish lands (which he held under John) in 1194, and his refusal to fight for John against Philip Augustus (to whom he had done homage for his Norman lands) in 1205. In this last instance John pretended to regard William’s action as treasonable, but his after-conduct showed that he had been only pretending. [350] See his answer to a remonstrance about the gains he had won by tourneying, _Hist. G. le Mar._, ll. 18469–96, and his forcible seizure of money whose owner destined it to an evil use, ll. 6677–6834. [351] _Ib._ ll. 5088–5104. [352] _Justiciarius noster_, 1st November, 1216 (_Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 1), 2nd November twice (_ib._ p. 2, _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 293); _justiciarius Angliae_, 13th November twice (_ll. cc._); _justiciarius noster Angliae_, 6th November twice, 12th November, 14th November (_Pat. Rolls_, pp. 2, 3). [353] The letter patent by which Hubert was appointed is unfortunately not enrolled; but the appointment was so clearly recognized by all parties as valid that we cannot doubt its having been made in the usual way. [354] Turner, “Minority of Henry III.”, part I, _Trans. Roy. Hist. Soc._, 2nd ser. vol. xviii. p. 271. [355] _Responsiones pro Huberto_ (M. Paris, _Chron. Maj._, vol. vi.), p. 64. [356] It may even have been given to him purposely, by consent of the real Justiciar, in order to enable him to undertake certain administrative functions specially attached to the chief Justiciar’s office, while Hubert was--as he said himself in 1239--so busy at Dover that “a castro non potuit recedere _nec officium justiciarii exercere_”; _Responsiones_, p. 65. [357] “Rector nostri et regni nostri.” This title appears on the Rolls for the first time on 19th November, 1216 (_Pat. Rolls_, vol. i. p. 3), and continues thenceforth in regular use.
