Note 488 — Chapter XIII · WILLIAM THE LION—1165–1214.

Fordun, l. 8, c. 64. He places these occurrences in 1203; but as he describes the capture of Falaise and other places at the same time—and they were taken in 1204—and as John only reached England on 6th December 1203, I have placed them under 1204. William was frequently in England after this meeting at Norham. £10 were paid for his expenses in 1206; £15 when he was at York on 20th June, and £30 when he was at the same place on 16th August 1207. In July 1205 John wrote to William, thanking him for the favourable answer which he had received on the subject of their negotiations, and alluding to the lands of Tynedale, of which William was seized, and of which no mention had been made in their convention. Rot Claus., p. 43 b., 86, 90 b. These lands in Tynedale appear to have been held by simple homage. Vide Doc. etc. Illust. Hist. Scot. Introd., p. vii.
