Note 921 — Chapter IV · TUTORS AND GOVERNORS 1221–1223
Reading edition
More literally, “not to the point that it [i.e. the disposition] could be maintained by any one in a law-suit.” I have to thank Mr. R. L. Poole for these renderings of the Dunstable annalist’s words (a. 1223, p. 83): “Postmodum vero, regis exercitu recedente, baronibus apud Londoniam convocatis, de mandato domini Papae et assensu baronum provisum est, et provisio publicata, quod ipse rex haberet legitimam aetatem quantum ad liberam dispositionem de castris et terris et gwardiis suis; non autem quoad hoc ut in placito posset ab aliquo communiri.”
