Note 1627 — Chapter XI · THE LAST YEARS OF ARCHBISHOP THEOBALD. 1156–1161.
Reading edition
Pet. Blois, Ep. clxviii. (Giles, vol. ii. pp. 116–118). The letter is headed merely “Tali Papæ talis rex,” but there can be no doubt that they are Henry and Adrian. The king congratulates himself and his country—“noster Occidens”—on the elevation of a native thereof to the Papal chair, and makes suggestions to the Pope about the work which lies before him.
