Note 371 — Chapter II · THE REGENCY OF WILLIAM THE MARSHAL 1216–1219
Reading edition
Bréauté is in Normandy, Maulay in Gascony. Of Falkes we shall have to speak at length later on. Peter de Maulay is (like Falkes) said to have begun life as an usher or doorkeeper: “Chil Pieres de Maulay ot este huissiers le roi, mais puis crut tant ses afaires que il fu chevaliers,” &c. Hist. Ducs, p. 180.
