Note 643 — Chapter XXIII
Reading edition
After leaving Holdenby, during the three days the King tarried at Childerley, many doctors, graduates, and scholars of the University repaired thither, "to most of whom the King was pleased to give his hand to kiss; for which honour they returned their gratulatory and humble thanks with a Vivat Rex." He was also visited by Fairfax, Cromwell, Ireton, Skippon, Lambert, Whalley, and other officers of the Parliament army, some of whom kissed his hand.—Wood's Ath. Oxon., ii., fasti 81.
