Magna Carta.

Legg inn av paul bulkley » 11 nov 2004 19:31:01

Professor T.C.Holt's "The St Alban's Chronicles and
Magna Carta" carefully analyses the Magna Carta based
on the records of Roger of Wendover and Matthew
Pariis, but one is still left wondering about the
lists of nobles who were for and against King John.

The lists certainly do not compare with the large
number of individuals listed in more modern texts.

Matthew Pariis Vol.2.p.585 provides the names of
Barons (about 45) who met early in 1215 at Stamford,
but does stress "et multi alii".

P.588 lists the Barons (about 25) who were
uncommitted, and met in London.

P.599 lists individuals (about 30) who were on the
king's side.

And finally on P.604-606 is listed the 25 Barons
elected, and a lists of individuals (about 40) who
swore at Runnymede to obey the orders of the 25
Barons.

These lists according to Professor Holt were in
Matthew Pariis's current hand.

The question arises - from what source/sources were
these lists of names obtained by Wendover and Pariis?
And more significant from what source/sources have
writers of more modern texts with their much larger
lists of individuals obtained their information?

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley
