Note 1073 — MAGNA CARTA. (continued 6)

The list is taken from Matthew Paris, Chron. Maj., II. 604-5, as corrected by Blackstone, Great Charter, p. xx., after collation with a marginal note on the Harleian MS. of the charter (cf. supra, 198, n). Paris gives “Boys” in place of “Ros,” and “Roger de Munbrai” in place of “Roger of Mumbezon.” This list should be contrasted with (a) that of the moderate party named in the preamble to Magna Carta, and (b) that of John’s foreign favourites named in c. 50. For biographical information, see Thomson, Magna Charta, 270–312.
