page xxvii note 7 The chronology of this period is complicated because of the paucity of materials, and because there has been much dispute over the date of the cession of the duchy of Normandy by Geoffrey to Henry. See A. Luchaire (‘Sur la chronologie des documents et des faits relatifs à l'histoire de Louis VII pendant l'année 1150’ in Ann. de la Fac. des Lettres de Bordeaux, 1882) and Chartrou (L'Anjou de 1109 à 1151), who take divergent views of the date of the cession. Dr. R. L. Poole, disagreeing with both, argues for ante April 1149 (E.H.R., xlii, 596Google Scholar), and this date is supported by Arnulf's letter no. 4. Writing to Robert de Chesney, the newly-elected bishop of Lincoln, Arnulf congratulates him on his honour, and asks him to favour the cause of his duke, who ought to have the rule of England by hereditary right. As Robert became bishop at the end of 1148, the letter must have been written next year at the time of Henry's invasion, and Arnulf would make no mistake about the title.

A later writer, Matthew Paris, states that he accompanied Rotrou of Evreux, William of Le Mans, and Robert, abbot of St. Albans, on a mission to the pope (Gesta Abbatum (Rolls Series), i, 126Google Scholar). Adrian IV, however, writing about the legation, substitutes G., dean of St. Lô, for Arnulf's name (Loewenfeld, S., Epistolae Pontificum Romanorum ineditae (Leipzig, 1885), p. 124Google Scholar). The legation was principally concerned with Henry's proposed conquest of Ireland (Matthew Paris, Chron. Maj., (Rolls Series), ii, 210Google Scholar), which had been discussed at Winchester on 29 September 1155 (Torigni, p. 186); but Adrian's bull shows that they also dealt with the election to the church of Angers, and the composition of the legation may have varied according to the business. We know that Arnulf visited Pope Adrian once (epp. nos. 14–15), but we prefer to ascribe that journey to 1157–9 (see below, p. xxxi), and this visit must be left in doubt.

page xxxi note 6 The only evidence that Arnulf visited the papal court and intrigued against John on his return is Peter of Celle's statement that a person de curia, who was with him, had related the story (ep. no. 67; M.P.L., ccii, 513Google Scholar), and later John blames Arnulf for it (loc. cit.). The absence of the bishop from court also inclines Dr. Poole to think that he went to Rome, but his absence can be explained in many ways.
