Note 755 — Chapter III · THE LEGATION OF PANDULF 1219–1221 (continued 2)

R. Wend., l.c. He goes on: “Habuit autem, ut dicebatur, hujus factionis incentores Falcasium, Philippum Marc, Petrum de Maloleone” [recte “Malolacu”] “Engelardum de Athie, et alios multos, qui clam miserunt ei viros armatos ut pacem regni turbaret.” But there is not a particle of evidence to indicate that such was the fact, or even that it was suspected at the time; indeed, the evidence of the records disproves the existence of such a suspicion against two of the men named, Philip Marc and Falkes; see Turner, pt. II. p. 254, and Close Rolls, vol. i. p. 448 b. Once again, as in his account of the Newark affair in 1217, Roger is carrying back to an earlier date his recollections of 1223.
