Page 395, line 9 from the bottom. " Surnamed Twing."'] — Rather — " but whose real name was Sir Robert de Thweng." M. Paris says (p. 374), " Magis- trum habentcs JVi/iel/iium quendam cognomento Witham (sive Boberlnm de Thiiif/e militcm et virum generosum, sed sic palliatum):" and in the next page he says, ^' Pohertiis de Tliinge, juvenis elegans et miles strenuus, ex partibus Angliae Aquilonaribus originem prseclaram ducens ; qui Willielmum Witlier se nominari fecerat." — See Dttgdale's Baronage, vol. ii. p. 37, v.

Page 395, note (1).] — The term " universitas " is vised, as applied to this com- bination of the English against tlie aliens, in the passage cited from M.

Page 397, line fi. " 0/ fines Hkcivise."'\ — " Pretia " (M. Paris). Foxe renders it " prices," which is unintelligible. See vcl. i. p. 17, for a similar use of " pretia."

Aiistriffi filiam ejus petens in uxorem, scripsit eideni (luci Ilubortus per litems, ill proejudiciiiiii ipsiiis Regis etregui, dissuadens ne illi filiam suam matviinonio copularet."
Page 397, line 33. " WUliam Briwere."'\ — We should read " William de Braose." M.Paris reads " Willielmus de ijrausia." Foxe's MS. may have read " Brauria." This William de Braose had been taken prisoner in a foraging excursion bv Llewellyn a.d. 1228, when acting in the service of Hubert de Burgh. (M. Paris.) It is curious, however, that he was nephew to William de Briwere. — See Diigdale's Baronage, vol. i. p. 419.

Page 399, line 1. " Radulph, bishop of Chichester."'\ — M. Paris attributes this suggestion to Ranulph, earl of Chester (comiti Cestrensi) ; but he ascribes the good management, by which a second messenger was sent, and Hubert's lite saved, to Radulph, bishop of Chichester. (See Carte's History of England, vol. ii. p. 45, and Uugdale's Baronage, vol. i. p. 696.) The Latin hexameter in the margin stands corruptly in M. Paris and F'oxe :
" Alis ales alls alium ne longius ales. '

Page 402, line 26. " Conveyed him . . . into the parish church."'] — This was " in vigilia Sti. Michaelis," or September 28th. (M. Paris, p. 388.) He was brought back again into the church " 15 Cal.
