Note 704 — Chapter IV · HENRY AND THE BARONS. 1166–1175.
Reading edition
Essex and Arundel had both been with him since the very beginning of the year, for they witnessed the marriage-contract of John and Alice of Maurienne; Gesta Hen. (Stubbs), vol. i. p. 39. Robert de Stuteville and Saher de Quincy seem to have been with him in the summer of 1173 (Eyton, Itin. Hen. II., p. 174). Hugh de Lacy was at Verneuil, defending it for the king in July (Gesta Hen., vol. i. p. 49); and Richard of Striguil was of the party which went to its relief in August (R. Diceto, Stubbs, vol. i. p. 375).
