^{page 283 note [a]} Fuller, in his account of the holy wars, expressly mentions the building of many fortifications in Asia by the Christians: “And now the Christians began every “where to build (sc. anno 1192); the Templars fortified Gaza; King Richard “repaired and walled Ptolemais, Porphyra, Joppa, and Askalon.” B. iii. c. 2. See also B. iv. c. 8. where elegance in Richard's buildings in Palestine is also mentioned. Fuller's authority for this seems to be a Willelmus Tyrensis, who was Treasurer to a subsequent Crusade, and Archbishop of Tyre.

^{page 289 note [d]} “So well founded is the conjecture, that Edward the first built what now “remains of the present castle of Caerphily, that Mr. Miller of Warwickshire, “one of the best architects and antiquaries now living, pronounced it the work of “that Prince several years ago, before it was known that Caerphily and Sengenneth “were the same, and when this vast structure was generally esteemed a Roman “work.”

The late Bishop of Carlisle was so obliging as to add this confirmation of my conjectures since the letter had the honour of being communicated to the Society of Antiquaries.
