Note 511 — Chapter II · THE REGENCY OF WILLIAM THE MARSHAL 1216–1219

Reading edition

“Circa festum S. Clementis,” Ann. Wav., a. 1218; “circa festum B. Andreae,” R. Coggeshall, p. 186, and M. Paris, Chron. Maj., vol. iii. pp. 42, 43. He seems to have carried with him a part, but still only a part, of the arrears of tribute due from England and Ireland to the Pope: “Soluta est vicesima pars trium annorum ab Anglis Ecclesiae Romanae,” say the Ann. Winton., a. 1219; on the debt for Ireland, see above, p. 95. The Barnwell Annalist says Gualo went “cum infinita pecunia, quocumque modo adquisita” (W. Cov., vol. ii. p. 241); but the insinuation here implied, and the charges of avarice and extortion brought against Gualo by some modern writers, are groundless. See Turner, pt. I., pp. 225, 256, note 1.
