Note 757 — Chapter III · THE LEGATION OF PANDULF 1219–1221 (continued 2)

I think this must be the real meaning of the words of Roger of Wendover, (vol. iv. p. 67): “Convenerunt interim magnates Angliae ad regem apud Westmonasterium ut de negotiis regni tractarent; comes vero, qui cum caeteris vocatus fuerat, simulavit se illo ire,” coupled with the safe-conduct until Candlemas granted to Aumale on some day between 15th and 22nd January, 1221, Pat. Rolls, vol. i. p. 278; cf. Close Rolls, vol. i. p. 446.
