Note 1393 — Chapter IX · HENRY AND ENGLAND. 1154–1157.
Reading edition
“Subjectis ad libitum Walensibus,” Rob. Torigni, a. 1157. The only entries in this year’s Pipe Roll visibly relating to the Welsh war are: “Pro thesauro conducendo ad Waliam xxxi s. et viii d.” (Oxfordshire, Pipe Roll 3 Hen. II., Hunter, p. 82), and a payment of two marks of silver by the abbot of Abbotsbury “de Exercitu Wal.” (Dorset, ib. p. 99). In the next year’s roll there are several references to the matter; Pipe Roll 4 Hen. II. (Hunter) pp. 114, 170, 175. The first relates to the hostages, the second to payments made to Henry’s Welsh allies, and the last is a payment made to Ralf “vitulus” (cf. Will. Malm. Hist. Nov., l. iii. c. 73, Hardy, p. 767) of Winchester “de Itinere de Waliâ”—i.e. for the fleet.
