Note 1490 — Chapter VII · RICHARD AND ENGLAND. 1189–1194.
Reading edition
Cf. Gir. Cambr. Vita Galfr., l. ii. c. 10 (Brewer, vol. iv. p. 408), and Will. Newb., l. iv. c. 15 (Howlett, vol. i. p. 336). In this place William calls Walter “virum prudentem et modestum”; but in l. iii. c. 8 (ib. p. 236) he displays a curiously bitter resentment against him for his abandonment of the see of Lincoln for the loftier see of Rouen.
