Note 1463 — Chapter VII · RICHARD AND ENGLAND. 1189–1194.
Reading edition
Gir. Cambr. De rebus a se gestis, l. ii. c. 23 (Brewer, vol. i. p. 86). Ric. Devizes (Stevenson), p. 15, says the arrangement was that John “in Angliam per cancellarium transiens staret ejus judicio, et ad placitum illius vel moraretur in regno vel exularet.” But with Eleanor in England to back her son, William could really have no choice in the matter.
