Note 643 — Chapter V · GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET AND STEPHEN OF BLOIS. 1128–1139.
Reading edition
For the barons’ revolt, see Hist. Gaufr. Ducis (Marchegay, Comtes), pp. 263–268. The strange and not very clear story of the double siege of Mirebeau is in pp. 265, 266. “Exercitus de Mirebello” is recorded in Chronn. S. Albin. and S. Flor. Salm. a. 1130 (Marchegay, Eglises, pp. 33, 191). The Chron. S. Albin. also records the building of Châteauneuf, a. 1131; the Hist. Gaufr. Ducis, p. 270, connects it with the revolt of a lord of Sablé, but apparently with the later revolt of Lisiard’s son Robert—which, however, the date in the chronicle shows to be a mistake.
