Note 1176 — Chapter VI · THE LAST YEARS OF HENRY II. 1183–1189.

Gesta Hen. (Stubbs), vol. ii. p. 7; R. Diceto and Gir. Cambr. as above; Rigord (as above), p. 23. Will. Armor., Gesta Phil. Aug. (ibid.), p. 75, and Philipp., l. ii. (ibid.), p. 120, turns the truce into an abject submission of Henry and Richard. Gerald says that one of the conditions of the truce was that Auvergne, which Philip had conquered, should remain in his hands during the period. But none of the other authorities mention Auvergne at all at this time; and Gerald’s statement seems incompatible with the French accounts of Philip’s attack upon Auvergne, as if upon a hostile country, in 1188 (Rigord, as above, p. 27; Will. Armor., ibid., pp. 74, 122). Gerald and Rigord are however almost equally untrustworthy for details, and especially for chronology.
