Note 922 — Chapter V · JOHN AND THE POPE 1210–1214 (continued 2)
Reading edition
R. Wendover, vol. iii. pp. 278, 279, says that Nicolas, with the king’s assent, sent Pandulf specially to plead for him at Rome against the archbishop; but Pandulf’s approaching departure over sea “in nuncium nostrum” was announced by John on January 4 (Rot. Claus. vol. i. p. 141), ten days at least before Stephen’s appeal was made or even threatened.
