Reading edition
Walker, loc. cit.; Sir James Ware, Annales Rerum Hibern. (1664), 161; Variorum, iii. 30, from MS. in Trin. Coll. Dublin. W. F. Dawson, Christmas: its Origin and Associations, 52, says that Henry II kept Christmas at Hogges in 1171 with ‘miracle plays.’ But I cannot find the authority for this.
