Note 762 — Chapter III · THE LEGATION OF PANDULF 1219–1221 (continued 2)
Reading edition
On 22nd January a letter close was sent to Aumale bidding him trust what two persons named therein should say to him on the King’s behalf; Close Rolls, vol. i. p. 446. This, from its tone, would seem to have been despatched in ignorance of the Fotheringay outrage—certainly before the assembly in which Aumale was excommunicated again. The date of that assembly is given in the Dunstable Annals, l.c., as “in die Conversionis Sancti Pauli.” But the excommunication is announced, as having already taken place, in a letter dated January 23rd, Roy. Lett., vol. i. p. 169.
