Page 436, last line. " Spain is fierce," &c.] — A conncil was held at Lerida, Oct. 19th, A.D. 1246, at which James, king of Aragon, who had cut out the tongue of the bishop of Gironne, was reconciled to the Church. — UArt de J'er. des Dates.

&'c.] — Tlic Latin is, " quod per ccnsurain ecclesiasticam conipescant contradic- lores." Tlie word " district" is bonowed from llie preamble to tlie articles — " literas districtum pra;cepliiin jiapale cum diveisis articulis continentes."
Page 43R, note (1).] — I be original, whence Foxe's text is a little corrected, is as follows: — "Quamtamen pecuniain postea ])eniteutia ductus nuiiqu.im recepit nee reciperc vokiit in vita sua. luio in literis suis et epistolis, toio tempore suo, se Ducom Normanniic appeliavit. Sed eo mortuo Kdwardus filius ejus et successor in repno lUa duo verba (Dux Normanniae) in suis epi.stolis non posuit." — Ilemincjjuril, ad an. 1259.
Page 438, note (2).] — Foxe does not quite correctly rc])resent ;\J. Paris, according to the printed copy (Lond. 1610. p. 71G); wbere it appears that the clergy, in order to calculate the sum sterling which it would be necessary to produce, to satisfy the pope's demands, take for the basis of their calculations the fact, that a recent demand of a twentieth realized 0000 marks (siipia, J). 4;5G). Hence they inferred that the pope's piesent demands would be ctpiivalent to a sum of 80,000 (quater viginti nnllia) marks. Foxe should, therefore, have said " eighty thousand marks." On the sum paid for Richard's ransom, see tlie note on p. .317 ; perhaps the 00,000 marks here mentioned is a confusion with the sum paid by tlie emperor to the duke, p. 310; or the clergy put the ransom low to aggravate the diiiiculty of no^v raising 80.000 marks; or the text may be corrupt.
Page 410, line 1. '^London."'] — Foxe says "Winchester;"' but see M. Paris, p. 722. The parliament was held at London : hence the letters to the pope just mentioned are sealed with the connnon seal of the city of London. The king had held his court at Winchester during Christmas, which perhaps led Foxe into the mistake.
Page 440, line 30.] — From the language of M. Paris (p. 728), " in Principio Quadragesimjc venit quidam de Ordine Minorum Johannes nomine, de quo facta est nientio in foliis prtecedentibus, &c." it would seem that it was the same John as is mentioned at ))p. 370, 430, 437. The first mention of John and Alexander is at p. 722 of .M. I'aris. St. (Jiles'-day was Sept. 1st. The legate's charges were another hundred marks.
