Note 254 — Chapter II · HENRY AND ROME. 1164–1172.
Reading edition
The historical arguments on this subject may be seen in Will. Fitz-Steph. (Robertson, Becket, vol. iii.), p. 110, and Ep. dclxxxiv. (ib. vol. vii.), pp. 328–330. Henry was once said to have projected getting the Pope himself to crown the child; Ep. lv. (ib. vol. v.), p. 100. Against this, of course, Canterbury could have had nothing to say.
