Note 1992 — Chapter IX · THE FALL OF THE ANGEVINS. 1199–1206.

Treaty in Rymer, Fœdera, vol. i. p. 79, and Rog. Howden (Stubbs), vol. iv. pp. 148–151. Its date is not quite clear; the document itself bears only “mense Maii”; Rigord (Duchesne, Hist. Franc. Scriptt., vol. v. p. 43) says it was made on Ascension-day (May 18); Rog. Howden (as above, p. 114) begins by placing it at the date for which it had been originally fixed—the octave of S. John Baptist—but in the next page corrects this into “xi kalendas Junii, feria secunda,” i.e. Monday, May 22. R. Coggeshall (Stevenson), p. 103, believed the thirty thousand marks to have been paid in full. The remission of ten thousand of them clearly made no difference to England; they were pocketed by John.
