Transcriber’s Note

The Errata have been moved to the end of each volume of the book, the corrections listed in them have been applied to this transcription.

Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of paragraphs.

All references to footnote numbers (i.e. page and note number) are followed by the footnote number used here in braces e.g. {386}.

Some formatting and punctuation in citations and the index have been standardized.

Variant spelling, inconsistent hyphenation and inconsistent spelling of people’s names are retained, as are inconsistent punctuation after roman numerals (e.g. “i.” and “i” both occur) and inconsistent use of italics, however a few palpable printing errors have been corrected.

The anchor for footnote 177, originally footnote 3 on page 37, was missing. It has been placed by the transcriber.

Footnote 924 (originally page 185 footote 2) “whose” has been changed to “those” in “the general list of those were to accompany him”.

Page 382 “that” changed to “than” in “nothing less than”.

Page 462 “Norman” changed to “Normans” in “at the coming of the Normans”.

Page 503 in the index entry for Henry I. his “good peace,” “30 note 1” changed to “30 note 4{58}”

An index entry for William of Reims has been added.

The following have been left as printed:

Footnote 959 (originally page 200 footnote 2), the references to page 149, 151 and 44 of the Chronicals of S. Albin. in Eglises d’Anjou, have been left in the order they were printed.

Page 205 “at one” in “southern Gaul at one rose against its northern master” might be either “at once” or “as one”.

Footnote 2130 (originally page 425 footnote 5) It is possible that “Will. Armor. as above, pp. 86 and 188.” should read “Will. Armor. as above, pp. 86, _Philipp._, l. viii. (_ibid_), p. 188.”
