Note 831 — Chapter VI · ENGLAND AND THE BARONS. 1139–1147.

Will. Malm. Hist. Nov., l. ii. c. 29 (Hardy, p. 724). The Gesta Steph. (Sewell), p. 56, and Rob. Torigni, a. 1139, also name Arundel as the landing-place, but give no date. Hen. Hunt., l. viii. c. 11 (Arnold, p. 266), says merely “statim,”—i.e. immediately after the council at Winchester. Flor. Worc. Contin. (Thorpe), vol. ii. pp. 116, 117, says first “in October,” and afterwards “before S. Peter-in-chains,”—i.e. August 1; but he is clearly wrong in this as well as in saying they landed at Portsmouth.
