Note 655 — Chapter III · THE LEGATION OF PANDULF 1219–1221

Pat. Rolls, vol. i. p. 235. The Ann. Dunst., a. 1220, say: “Mense Junio apud Eboracum rex Scotiae affidavit sororem Henrici regis Angliae; qua de causa idem rex Angliae remisit ei quinque millia marcarum.” Probably remisit here is a scribe’s error for promisit, and five thousand marks was the dowry given by Henry to his sister on her marriage. The little damsel Isabel of England was apparently taken to York that Alexander might see her; Pat. Rolls, vol. i. p. 234. The Lord of Galloway, Alan, also came to York at this time, and performed the homage which he owed to Henry; Close Rolls, vol. i. p. 420 b.
