Page 272, note (7).] — Wharton, in his History of English Poetr}', mentions this bishop Stephen, and supposes liim to have been a comic poet. Trivet's words are as follows: — " Stephanas Redoncnsis Episcopus ohiit, cui ante mortem (lit ipse fassus est) apparens qiuedam persona, parvo levique sibilo dixit ei lios versus : ' Desine ludere temere ; nitere surgere propere de pulvere.' Ipse enim multa, rythmico carmine et pvosa, jocunde et ad plausus hominum scripserat. Et quia Miserator hominum eum in proximo moriturum sciebat, monuit eum, iit a talibus abstinens poeniteret." — Nicolai Iriveti Annates, Oxonii, 1719, p. 73.
Page 273, line 5.] — "Johannes Burgundio, Pisaniis civis," is mentioned by Cave in his Hist. Litt. He flourished a.d. 1148, was at the Roman council A.D.I ISO, and died a.d. 1194.
Page 273, line 13. " Richard PerA-."]— Wharton, ex fide Annal. Eccl. S. Werburgae Ceslrensis, says he died October 6th, a.d. 1182 ; Hoveden says a.d. 1183. He was consecrated bishop of Lichfield and Coventry a.d. 1161. — Godwin de PrcEsuUbits.
Page 273, line 16. "Hiigo."~\ — "Caenobii Carthusiani Witthamae in Somersetia, ab Hen. II. niiper positi, prior," born at Grenoble, in Burgundy; consecrated A.D. 1186 ; died about November a.d. 1200. M. Paris (sub anno 1200) relates his miracles. — Godwin.
Page 273, line 21. " Baldwin.''^ — Baldwin began to build the college for canons at Hackington, near Canterbury, with a view to transfer the election of archbishop from the monks of Canterbury to persons who would be more obse- quious to the king. The monks prevailed with pope Urban III. to stop the building and forbid the plan. On his death, October 11th, a.d. 1187, Baldwin proceeded to found the archiepiscopal establishment at Lambeth, but was inter- rupted by death, a.d. 1190. Clement III. was elected December 19th, a.d. 1187. — Godwin.
Page 276, note (1).] — Foxe has authority for the statement in the text (see Rastal's Chronicle, &:c.), but it is not quite accurate. Hugh, earl of Chester, was taken prisoner at Dol in Bretagne, on Sunday, August 26th, a.d. 1173 (Carte, Henry) ; and the king sent for the earl of Leicester early next year into Normandy, and confined him with the earl of Chester in the castle of Falaise ; and brought them over with him as prisoners to England, Monday, July 8th, A.D. 1174 (Hoveden, Carte, Henry). Heni-y performed his penance at Canter- bury the following Friday, and the king of Scots was taken at Alnwick the next day, Saturday terlio idus Julii, i.e. July 13th, a.d. 1174. (See Fordun's " Scoti-chronicon," Gul. Neubrigensis, Hoveden, Henry, and Nicolas's Tables.) The statement in the text, therefore, is only correct as to the king of Scots.
Page 276, note (4).] — Foxe is a little incorrect in the text. It was Urban III. who died for sorrow for the Holy Cross, as related at p. 271. (See the note on that page.)
Pao-e 277, note (3). " One thousand and five ]iundred."'\ — Hoveden says, " Quingenti viri, exceptis mulieribus et parvuiis :" on which expression Foxe probably grounded his number, for which no other authority has been dis- covered.
Page 277, note (5).] — Foxe's description of Richard's preparation for his departure to the Holy Land is very embarrassed, and it has been necessary to make several changes and transpositions of his text, to reduce it to accurate history. In the text, anticipating a subsequent stage of the negotiations, he says, that they agreed to go " about Easter next ensuing;" for which the words " at a certain interview " have been substituted in the text.
Page 278, line 8. " Hugh Puzas, bishop qfDurham."'\ — This Hugh de Pudsey, bishop of Durham, ordered a Bible to be written for him some time between the years 1153 and 1194, which is now extant in the library of the Chapter, and is divided into chapters. — Faber's Hist, of the Waldenses, p. 375.
Page 278, line 32. " Philip the French king," Sic.'] — Foxe, by mistake, makes Richaid send to remind Philip. The text has been altered in conformity with Hoveden, Script, post Bedam, p. 660 ; Acta Publ. torn. i. p. 63 ; Brompton ; Diceto; M. Paris.

Pago 278, line 5 from tlie bottom. " After ir/iir/i the /chig," &'c.] — Thispara- prapli is made up of two passages of Foxe, which would stand at pp. 280, 298. Richard embarked at Dover, December 11 tl), and kept his Christmas at Lions- la-foret, seven leagues from Houcn, whence he proceeded to Gue St. Heme, and held the interview witii Piiilip described in the text on St. Hilary (January l;5ili). See ((irautiiorities, Vinesauf's " Iter Hierosolymitanum Regis Richardi," Iloveden, Bronipton, Henry.
Page 278, note (2).] — Foxe says in the text that the Jews were to be called on for "Ix thousand " pounds (Ed. 1570); " G0,000," (Ed. 1571 ;) but, erro- neously, "GOOO," (Edd. 1583, 1596.)— See Stowe's Chronicle, ad an. 1188.
Page 279, line 1 6 from the bottom. " Gardeviance "] — is a word used, at least three times in Foxe, viz. here, and at vol. v. p. 102, and vol. vi. p. 413, and in each case in reference to a religious procession ; it seems to mean " the pomp and cir- cumstance," the customary paraphernalia and observance, of such processions.

Page 298, line 24. " These things and others."] — This and the next sen- tence stand in Foxe's text at p. 280 ; the words " and came to Chinon " are added on Hoveden's authority, to connect the narrative.
Page 298, line 7 from the bottom. " 7'o Tours, and after //(«/."]— These words are brought from a previous sentence of Foxe ; Richard received at Tours the pilgrim's scrip and staff.

Foxe is quoting Hoveden, p. G73: — " quod est in medio fiuniinis del Far inter Messanani et Calabriani." M. Paris says, " transivit fliivium qui Far dicitur." Page 299, line 7 from the bottom.] — Vinesaufand Diceto (col.G57) call this place " Mategriflum."
Page 301, line 9 from the bottom. " Richard, hearing of Joachim," &c.] — See a reference to this story infra, vol. iii. p. 105. Joachim was born in Cala- bria, about A.D. 1130. Having ti-ivelled in Palestine, he assumed, on his return, the habit of a Cistercian monk, and became abbot of Curazzo in Cala- bria, and afterwards founder and first abbot of Flora in Calabria. He was celebrated for his propliecies : what Merlin was among the Fnglish, Malachy among tlie Irish, and Nostrodamus among the French, such was Joachim among the Italians. He wrote many works. Two years before his death he ])ublislied a confession of his faith, in which he begs that his works might be submitted to the censorship of the Church after his death, in case he died witliout putting his last hand to them.

Page 302, note (2).] — The archbishop of Apamea might probably have been in Europe to stir up the Christian princes, as tlie archbishop of Tyre was a few years before.
Page 302, note (3).] — Hoveden says, " de Appamia, Anxiensis, et Wora- censis." The names and titles in the text are put in from the passage in Hoveden, compared with munerous contiguous passages, in which the same bishops evidently recur again and again. Gallia Christiana has also been con- sulted, and confirms the titles which are put in.
Page 304, line 19. " On Saturdatj, the thirtieth day of March."] — Foxe says, erroneously, " the eight and twentieth day of March." Vinesauf says, " Sabbato post Annunciationem B. Virginis," and Hoveden, " Sabbato tertio Cal. Aprilis," which means the same thing, March 30th. (Nicolas's Tables.) Foxe's next date also requires this; for as Easter in the year 1191 fell on April 14th, and Hoveden describes that date " Sabbato in Hebdomade Paschae," i.e. Saturday April 20th, it woidd be the twenty-second day after March 30th, including (as usual) that day itself.
Page 304, line 23. " Jfter the departure," &c.] — " Eodem die " (Hoveden). Vinesauf implies the same.
Page 304, line 27. " Elenor departed."] — Hoveden says, " quarto die se- quenre;"and Vinesauf adds, "to be joint guardian of England with Walter, archbishop of Rouen."
Pao-e 304, line G from the bottom.] — This behaviovu- of Pope Celestine III. to Heiiry VI. is referred to again, vol. iv. pp. 114, 143. See Hoveden (Script, post Bedam, p. G89), Knighton (Script. Decem, col. 2403), and Baronius, ad an. 1191, § 10.
Page 305, line 5. " The tenth daij of April. "] — Hoveden says, " feria quarta ante Coenam Domini." " Ccena Domini" means Maunday Thursday (or the day before Good Friday), which in a.d. 1191 fell on April 11th (Nicolas'sTables). The " feria quarta," or Wednesday before, would therefore be April 10th. Vinesauf says, " die Mercurii post Dominicam Palmaruiu," which is the same date with Hoveden's.

(Vinesauf) At this battle 20 emirs and 7000 of the flower of tiie Turkish cavalry were slain ; and Richard boasted that in forty campaigns the Turk had not received such a blow.

Page 312, last line but one. " Matlhew le Clere."] — Foxe calls him " their constable;" he is by Diceto (Uecem Script, col. 671) called " municeps princi- palis castelli de Dovera."
Page 315, line 5.]— The earl of Salisbury was William Longspey : see page 374. Foxe's names of the English nobles have been corrected here, and in many other passages, from Dugdale's Baronage, and other authentic sources of information.
Page 315, line 24.] — Foxe says, "If he would restore to him again Sclavonia, in as good state as it was when he took it." It is " Scalona " in lioveden, which led to the mistake of " Sclavonia." Foxe has misunderstood the con- dition, which was — "si Ascalon dirimeretur, ut in posterum non re-iedificaietur a Christianis nee a Turcis :" see Brompton, who afterward says it was agreed that Ascalon should be dismantled for three years : it was dreaded by the Sultan, as a strong fortress on the fiontier toward F-iivpt. For the state in which Richard found it, see Foxe, p. 309 ; after which he had been at immense pains and expense in restoring the w'alls and fortifications. It was there that he affronted the duke of Austria, who afterwards took him prisoner.
Page 316, line 8.] — Foxe says erroneously, that Richard embaiked " the next spring."
Page 317, note (1). " Eulogiiim."'\ — Tiiis Chronicle extends from the Conquest to the year 1367. Among the " Notte Anonymi " written in the margin of Cave's Hist. Litt. in the Lambeth library, in the handwriting of arch- bishop Tenison, and printed in the Oxford edition of Cave, 1743, tiiis Chronicle is ascribed to John Wicliff. The passage referred to by Foxe occurs at folio 163 of the Cotton MS. " Anglici multum condolentes de regis incarceratione miserunt pro eo 100,000 libras argenti. Tnde fere omnes calices et omnia vasa argentea fuerunt in monctam, ut regeni suum liberarent, qui honorificb honoratus est. Impetratum fuit ii Uomino Papa ut celebrare posseiit sacerdotes in calicibus de staiino, et sic longo tempore fecerunt, quod et nobis visum est. .... Dominus vero Austria^, qui regem incarceravit, lite inter papain et ipsum ingrnente moritur excommunicatus anno 1196."
There is much contradiction as to the real amount paid for Richard's ranson ; for at page 438 we read (on the autliority of M. Paris, sub. an. 1246) that the English clergy ass-ured tiie ])opc, tiiat Richard's ransom cost 60.000 marks, which were raised with the help of the church jjlate. M. Paris, however, in this place says that 140,000 marks were demanded : at page 794 Foxe mentions only 30,000 'marks as \y,m\ for Richard's release. There is a letter in Hovedcn, from Richaid to his mother and the justices of England, dated llaguenau, 3 Cal. Mail, a.d. 1193, stating that he would be released on the payment ol 70,000 marks. The fmal settlement of the matter, given by Hoveden and from him by Rymer, states that 150,000 marks (100,000/.) were to be paid, 100,000 at
APPENDIX TO VOL. 11.
once, and the remainder in seven months after his return to England ; 30,000 oF this remainder were to go to the emperor, and 20,000 to the duke; sixty hostages for the payment heing given to tlie emperor, and seven to the duke. Foxe's account in this place very nearly coincides with Hoveden.
Page 318, line 23. " Theae tvords of Fulco," &c. — The king only dissembled for the moment. The original passage is here given, which is more terse than our author's version.
" Dico tibi, O Rex, ex parte omnipotentis Dei, ut tres filias quas habes pcssi- mas citius marites, ne aliquid deterius tibi coiitiugat. Cui fertur, 'O digito compesce labella: Accusator erit qui verum dixerit;' 'Nemo sine vitiis nascitur; beatus qui minimis urgetur;' et alibi, ' Nemo sine crimine vivit.' Cui fertur regem respondisse : Ilypocrita nientitus cs in caput tiunn, qui liliain non habeo ullam. Ad quod Fulco respondens ait: Certe non mentior, quia (ut dixi) tres habes filias pessimas, quarum una est Superbia, altera Cupiditas, tertia Luxuria. Convocatis igitur ad se Comitibus et l5aronibus multis qui adcrant, ait Rex : Audite universi commonitionem hujus hypocrita;, qui dicit habere me tres filias pessimas, videlicet, &c." — See llovedeii, Bromplon, Camden's Re- mains, &c.
Page 318, line 14 from the bottom. "Ademar."'\ — Foxe calls him " Wido- marus." Hoveden (Script, post Bedam, p. 790) calls him " Widomarus, vice-comes de Limoges." L'Art de Ver. des Dates, Viscorntes de Limoges, calls him " Ademar 111. le Barbu."
Page 318, note (1).] — This Fulco is the " Eximius Proedicator" of France, mentioned by Grosthead at p. 530 of this volume. Hoveden introduces this story by the following account of Kulco (Script, post Bedam, p. 789). — "Eodem anno erat in Gallia quidam sacerdos nomine Fulco, quem magniricavit Uominus in conspectu regum ; deditque ei potestatem caecos illuminare, claudos, mutos, et alios diversis languoribus oppresses curare, dasmones effngare : hie autem mere- trices relicto impudicitiae fr^no ad Dominum convertit : usurarios etiam ad cceles- tem thesaurum invitans, quem nee aerugo nee tinea demolitur nee fures furantur, fecit omnem substantiam quam usura et foenus devoraverat in usus pauperum distribuere. Ipse quidem priedixit regibus Franciae et Angliae, quod unus illorum in mala morte in proximo interiret, nisi celerius ab hostilitate cessassent. Et quia in illo tempore messis quidem erat multa et pauci operarii, conjunxit ei Duminus viros sapientes verba salutis aternae praedicantes, magistrum Petrum, et dominum Robertum, et dominum Eustachium abbatem de Flai, et caeteros quosdam, qui missi per orbem terrarum praedicaverunt ubique. Domino coope- rante et sermonem confirmante sequentibus signis." And Bromplon (col. 1274) says, " lllis quoque diebus quidam propheta efficacissimus in Francia surrexit, scilicet Magister Fulco, pro quo Dominus manifeste dignatus est mira- bilia operari. Hie summo opereusuram conabatur extirpare. Hie etiam Fulco quendam religiosum ac facundum prasdicatorem, abbatem sc. de Flay ordinis Cisterciensis, in Angliam misit ad coinmercia quas Dominicis diebus solebant tunc fieri deponenda." But Brompton (col. 1278) tells the story in the text of Walter, archbishop of Rouen. — These extracts respecting Fulco are given at full, as illustrating a passage of J'oxe in page 530.
Page 318, note (2).] — The king had a regiment of Flemings in his service, the captain (" dux") of which was named " Rlarchadeus " (Hoveden). Foxe amusingly calls him " the duke of Brabant" here and next page, line 13. Brompton calls him " Marchadeus " (col. 1277), Knighton, " dux Brabanciae " (col. 2413). " Princeps nefandas gentis Braibancanorum" (Hoveden, 768); " Marcadeus iiephariis Brabanlinorum vallatus catervis " (Diceto, col. 697). He seems to have been a " soldier of fortune," who was ready to enlist wherever sufficient inducements offered, and was now in Richard's pay.
Page 321, line 6.] — Foxe in this place makes Geoffrey the third, and Richard, the fourth, son of Henry II. : this error is corrected in the text. Diceto (col. 657) says that Richard " Arturum hjeredem suum instituit, si sine prole discesserit." Clearly implying that Richard was older than Arthur's father. Also Gervase (col. 1590) says that Alfred, when a boy, " familiarium suorunr et imperitorum seductus consilio coepit rebellare," &c. See Sandford's Genea- logical History of the Kings of England.

Piige 323, line 26. " Simon Langiou . . . became arr/ibis/iop of York, as ap- peareth in the course of this stonj."'] — He was elected by tlie cliapter a.D. 1215, but lejeeted by tlie pope, as slated at page 338 ; nevertheless, Foxe in the margin of p. 393 calls him " archbishop of York."
Page 321, line 21.] — The sentence being corrected, the original is given from M.Paris: " Et quod magis in pia-judicium et subversionem libertatum ad coroiiam suam spectantium rcdundat, ipsius consensu a nionachis (qui ilium postulasse debuerat) nee rite requisite, eundem Stephanuni tcmcre j)romovere priesumit."
Page 32fi, line 25. " TJtree bishops."'] — Foxe says " four," and adds " Giles, bisliop of Hereford." But M. Paris (p. 157, Ed. Paris, 1014) mentions only three — " Willielnnis Londinensis, Eustachius Eliensis, et Malgerus \\ igorni- cnsis ;" and soon after he mentions these three as flying from England, together with Joceline of Bath, in order to avoid the king's r.ige. Hence Foxe may have thought that all four were engaged in pronouncing the interdict. Foxe also says "Walter, bishop of Wincliester," instead of " M auger, bishop of Worcester." (See Godwin de Privsulibus.) The dale of the interdict, as given by M. Paris, is " Quadragesima sc(juenti, ])rima die Liui;e in j)assione Domini, qu:c tunc couligit Decimo Calendas Aprilis;" e. e. Monday, April 21th, a.d. 1208. (Nicolas's Tables.)

Page 333. " Upon this obligation the king was discharged," &c.] — The king was absolved from the sentence of excommunication by Archbishop Langton, at St. Swithin's church, Winchester, on the feast of St. Margaret the Virgin [July 13, A. D. 1213], according to the " Annal. Waverl." : the archbishop had been specially sent for from France for the purpose, as the barons refused to accompany John in his expedition into France while he continued excommuni- cate. The kingdom was not relieved from the interdict till Wednesday, 6 Non. Julii [July 2d], the year following. — Thos. Wilces, Ann. Waverl.

Toulouse," are inserted from Grafton, whom Foxe is copying ; they
seem to have been left out by accident. " Sataloni" seems a corruj)t word, formed from some transposition of tlie .lyllables of " Tolosani;" or it may be a corruption of " Carcassone." Catalonia does not seem to have come under the papal thunders, or it might have been supposed to be meant here.
Page 335, last line but one.] — " Homely handling of liis majesty" is intioduced from Grafton. Foxe says *' humble handling of his majesty's will," which is not sense.

John's remark on tlie fat stag certainly savours of piofaneness more than anything else; but, judging from observation, infidelity and profaneness are the natural fruits of Popery to a mind which has once seen its delusions, unless true religion be at the same time presented and embraced.
Page 340, line 19.] — Foxe says here " Lincoln," instead of " Boston." Mr. Pegge, in an Article in vol. iv. of the Arclia?ologia on the story of King John's being poisoned by a monk, expresses his surprise that Foxe, as a native of Hoston, should have spoken of Swineshead Abbey as not far from " Lincoln," whereas it lay six miles east of IJoston, and Boston thirty-seven miles south- east of Lincoln (Gazetteer). But the fact is, Foxe is copying Grafton, from whom he borrows en masse the greater part of his account of King John's reign. So that the blunder is Grafton's, though it maybe somewhat surprising that Foxe should not have seen and corrected it.
Page 342, line 5. " Yet Matthew Paris," &c.]— Mr. Pegge, in the Article in the Archteologia referred to in the last note, mentions with dishonour Foxe's name among others, as perpetuating the story about King John's being poisoned by a monk. But the fact is, that (as has been before observed) Foxe's account of this reign is little else but a transcript from Grafton's Chroni- cle, which he gives nearly as he found it. In this particular instance, however, he has gone beyond his author, and gives, out of ))ure candour and desire for truth, the other (more charitable, though then less popular) statement of M. Paris (pp. 287, 288) as to the cause of John's death.

Page 342, line 17.] — " In nocte quae diem S''. Lucte Evangelista? proxime secutaest." (M.Paris) St. Luke's day is October 18th. Foxe says, " Upon St. Lucy's even." John's death is commonly dated October 19th.
Page 342, note (3).] — The work here referred to is intituled " The Pastime of People, or the Chronicles of Divers Realms, and most especially of the Realm of England, briefly compiled, and imprinted in Cheapside, by John Rastell [a.d. 1529]:" reprinted and systematically arranged, London, 1811. Rastell here says, '' Also about this tyme, the citezyns of London made such sute to the kynge, that they optayned that the kynge graunted them, to chose of them- selfe yerely a mayre and ii. sheryfFes, and Ure names of baylyffes clerely to be voyded : whose names of the meyre and sheryfl'es were, the first mayre Henry P'iiz Alvvyii ; the first sheryfFes, Peter Duke, Thomas Nele."
King John granted a charter to the citizens of London for choosing their own sheriffs, dated July 5th, in the first year of his reign [a.d. 1199], and another for choosing a mayor, dated May 19th, in the sixteenth year of his reign [a.d. 1214]. (Maitland's History of London, vol. i. pp. 74, 76.) Between the Conquest and this latter year, the sheriffs were called bailiffs; and duririg tlie Anglo-'>axon period, the chief magistrate of London was called the port- grave, or porfreve ; after the Conquest, he was called the provost. Mayor was taken from the French meyre, which was the title of the chief magistrate of Rouen. (Maitland, vol. ii. p. 1192.) Arnold's Chronicle says, that Henry Fitz Alwyn, or lleryson Aiivipi as he calls him, first took the title of mayor a. d. 1207, for that of custos (see p. 802 of this volume) or bailiff, under which title

Page 'M3, line 28.] — Foxe, misled by Walter Heniingford, reads " Glou- cester;" but' M. Palis, " Cliester." Dugdale"s Baronage states (vol. ii. ))p. '12, •13 21 1) tliat the earl of Chester was materially useful to the king at tliis time ; while the earl of Gloucester joined Louis, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Lincoln.

Page 343, note (1.)]— The former account of John's children is copied from (iraflon, and is substantially correct: the other is not. The three sons, William, (iuv, and Ktliehnar, bisho]) of Winchester, were his step-sons with Isabella of An'gouleme, his third wife, by wliom he had the other two sons, aiid three daughters. " Gny de Lusignan" is by Grafton and Foxe called here " Guido Disenaie." " Liziniac" might easily be mistaken for Disenaie in a MS. llthelmar is mentioned at pp. 423, -ill. Joan's maniage is mentioned at p. 374.

Page 315, line 16. " Eustace, a French monk."]— Foxe calls him "a French lord." Hut he is called " Eustachiu-, Monachus " in the Forma Pacis, where one stipulation is, that Louis sliall compel tlie brolliers of Eustachius Monachus to surrender the islands belonging to England. He is also called " Archipiratam Franconmi " (iMelrose Ciiron.) ; " Eustachius, cognomento Mo- nachus " (Aiinales Waverl.) ; M.Paris (p. 298) says " Eustacliio monacho, viro flagiliosissimo ;" and, soon after, " Eustachius monachus, proditor regis AnglicT?, et pirata nequissimus." Hemingford calls him " quidam tyrannus ex Jlispani I, co'^nom'me Mouachi, qui cum nniltas exigisset priedas, multaque loca suo subjiigasset impeiio, tandem anhelavitad regnum AngliiP conquierendum." " Eustachius ut fertur monachus, qui ut decebat apostatam ostendeiis suain inconstantiam sa?pe de uno rege transivit ad alium, et tauquam de Motiacho factus Damoniacus dolo et pertidia plenus fuit." ( Walsiiigham, Ilypodigma Neustrite.) Mr. Carte (History of England, tom. ii. p. 9) calls him " Eustace le Moine, who had formerly deserted from J ohn to enter the king of France's service." M. Paris states that the French had eighty ships besides other craft, and the English forty of all sorts.
