Note 1209 — Chapter VII · JOHN LACKLAND 1215–1216

Reading edition

Hist. des Ducs, pp. 168, 169. Cf. R. Wendover, vol. iii. p. 368, and Ann. Winton. a. 1216, both of which give the same date for Louis’s arrival. R. Coggeshall, p. 181, gives a date which, though self-contradictory, is, I think, meant for the same—“die sabbati post Ascensionem Domini, scilicet xiiii kalendas Junii.” W. Coventry, p. 229, is quite wrong. John had gone on May 19 (Ascension Day) to Folkestone; on the 20th and 21st he was at Canterbury. Itin. a. 17, 18.
