Note 1119 — Chapter V · THE YOUNG KING 1223–1227
Reading edition
In Quer. Falc., p. 270, Falkes says he was in the bishop’s custody “ix septimanis et amplius.” Nine weeks from 17th August, which seems to be the earliest possible date for his committal to Eustace’s keeping, brings us to 24th October; and we shall see that the latest possible date for the Council’s decision is 26th October. Roger of Wendover’s statement (vol. iv. p. 103) that it took place “Martio mense” is of course quite wrong.
