Note 1037 — Chapter V · THE YOUNG KING 1223–1227
Reading edition
“Senescallus regis,” Close Rolls, vol. i. pp. 190, 191 b, 192 b, March, 1215. This office was shared among several persons; another senescallus regis at this time was William de Cantelupe (ib. p. 192), who had held the office for many years. Falkes seems to have been also a seneschal or steward of the household of Henry III; see Close Rolls, vol. i. pp. 350, 350 b, and Roy. Lett., vol. i. p. 226, where Henry in June or July, 1224, speaks of “officii maximi quod habuit [Falcatius] in curia nostra.”
