Reading edition
On Rees’s death his two sons quarrelled over the succession, and Hubert had to go to the “fines Gwalliæ” and make peace between them. Rog. Howden (Stubbs), vol. iv. p. 21. At Christmas he was at Hereford, where he took the castle into his own hands, turning out its custodians and putting in new ones, “ad opus regis”; he did the same at Bridgenorth and Ludlow. Ib. p. 35. See also Gerv. Cant. (Stubbs), vol. i. p. 543, Gerald’s letter to Hubert after his victory, and Hubert’s reply: Gir. Cambr. De Rebus a se gestis, l. iii. cc. 5, 6 (Brewer, vol. i. pp. 96–102).
