As the numbers there are not only immense, but inconsistent with Peter de Blois' account, lord Lyttelton suggests in his corrections, that there may be an error in Peter of quadraginta for quadringenta.

^{page 409 note [o]} Richard I, in whose time money did not probably abound more than in the preceding reigns, covenanted to pay 150,000 marks for his ransom, which can scarcely be thought one half of the running cash of the nation; and 300,000 marks is equal to 200,000£. The Conqueror left 60,000£. in money, besides plate and jewels of much greater value, in his treasury. Rufus did not want money for all necessary and even great purposes. A. 1105, Henry I, carried plenty of gold and silver with him to Normandy. Sim. Dun. col. 229. Brompton, col. 998. Stephen laid hold of Henry the First's treasure, (Diceto, col. 505,) 100,000 marks or pounds, besides plate and jewels; (Rapin, p. 201.) and Henry II. gave at once, for the relief of Jerusalem, 42,000 marks of silver, and 500 of gold. Walsingham, p. 451. So that these five sovereigns, though often distressed, and often oppressors of their subjects, had a great deal of money passing through their hands.
