A SƲPPLEMENTAL APPENDIX to the Reign of King Edward the I.
COurteous Readers; Having some Vacant time the last Summer Vacation to peruse all the Bundles of Writs and other Records long interred in Dust and Cobwebs in a Confused Heap in the White Tower, so farr as to se∣parate those of most use during the reign of King Edward the 1. from his Predeces∣sors and Successors, and transcribing those relating to my present Historical Vindication; before I could compleat that painfull, troublesom, sordid work, which none else would undertake, or assist me in, near 25. years of his reign in this Tome were finished at the Presse. Upon which account, I thought fit to annex all such Writs of Prohibition, Epistles, Bulls, and other Records rela∣ting to those years, pertinent to My Historical Vindication, which I have since dis∣covered, as a Supplemental Appendix thereunto, in a Chronological Order, refer∣ring each of them to their proper places, to which their expresse dates or other circumstances where the dates are wanting, direct me; together with the pages, lines where they may be most properly inserted in the next Edition.
Here, p. 159. l. 11. after Successors, insert.] In a small Bundle of King Ed∣ward the 1. his Letters in the White Tower writ to the Emperor of Germany and others on the behalf of his Brother-in-law the King of Castle, I find this Epistle of his directed to Pope Gregory the 10. imploring his favour and speedy Justice in the conservation of his right in the Roman Empire, by his mediation on his behalf.
