Note 1569 — Chapter VII · RICHARD AND ENGLAND. 1189–1194.

Gerald (ib. p. 405), says “quartâ vero feriâ.” Ric. Devizes (Stevenson), p. 39, says “Dies ille nefastus declinabat ad vesperam,” which, taken in connexion with what precedes, ought to mean Tuesday evening; but he seems to have lost count of the days just here. It is he alone who mentions the earls; while it is Gerald alone who gives the names of the bishops—London, Lincoln, Winchester and Coventry.
