Note 694 — Chapter IV · HENRY AND THE BARONS. 1166–1175.

In Gesta Hen. (Stubbs), vol. i. p. 51, note 4, the names are given as “David et Evayn reges Walliæ”—a blunder probably caused by the writer’s greater familiarity with David, owing to his later family alliance with the English king. In the present war, however, Rees proved the more active ally of the two, as we shall see later.
